Headed down
life's crooked road
Lots of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowin',
now I 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 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 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 guess that my heart strings
are made of twine
Had 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 that detour sign
