Detour

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed And because of me not knowing, now I pine Trouble's got in the trail, spent the next five years in jail Should have read that detour sign [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] When I got stuck in the mud, all my hopes dropped with a thud And I reckon my heartstrings are made of twine I got no willpower to get from this hole that I'm in yet Should have read that detour sign [Chorus] Should have read that detour sign
