Detour Lyrics
Detour, there's muddy road aheadDetour, paid no mind what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I never knowed
And the cause 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
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
When I got stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heartstrings are made of twine
Had no willpower to get
From the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
