Detour
Travelin' down life's crooked road, Lots of things there I never knowed
Because of me not knowin' now I pine, Trouble got on my trail
I spent the next five years in jail, Should have read that detour sign
Chorus:
Detour - there's a muddy road ahead
Detour - paid no mind to what is said
Detour - all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Well when I got to the place where that sign told me to face
Well I figured all of my worries were behind but the further I go
I find more chug holes there in the road, I should have read that detour sign
Chorus
Well, I got stuck down in the mud, All my hopes fell there with a thud
I felt like my heartstrings were made of twine, I had no power to get
From that hole I was in yet, Should have read that detour sign
