DETOUR

DETOUR

Headed down life's crooked road

Lot of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowing I now pine
Trouble's got in the trail
Spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road ahead
Detour paid no mind to what it said
Detour oh these bitter things I find should have read that detour sign

When I got right to the place
Where it said about face
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go
The more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road...
Detour there's a muddy road...
Should have read that detour sign
