Lots of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowin',
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
When I got right to the place,
where it said about face,
I thought that all my worries were behind.
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
When I got stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings
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
