Detour
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble 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, all 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 all my worries were behind
But the further I go, the more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got stuck in the mud, all my hopes dropped with a thud
I reckon my heartstrings are made of twine
I got no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read Lord, should have read that detour sign
And because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble 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, all 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 all my worries were behind
But the further I go, the more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got stuck in the mud, all my hopes dropped with a thud
I reckon my heartstrings are made of twine
I got no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read Lord, should have read that detour sign
