Detour
Detour Headed down life's crooked road
Lot 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 oh the bitter things
I find should have read that detour sign

I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
And I thought that my heart strings were made of twine

But the father I go the more sorrow
I know should have read that detour sign Detour
There's a muddy road ahead

Detour there's a muddy road ahead detour paid no mind

To what it said Detour oh the bitter things
Should have read that detour sign

Should have read that detour sign should have read that detour sign
