Detour Lyrics

(Capo 1st fret.)
CHORUS:
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
should have read, that detour sign.
#1.
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things
I never knowed, 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.
CHORUS:
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
should have read, that detour sign.
#2.
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.
CHORUS:
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
should have read, that detour sign.
#3.
When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes
dropped with a thud..
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine.
Have no willpower to get, from the hole that I'm in yet..
should have read that detour sign.
CHORUS:
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
detour, paid no mind to what it said.
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find,
should have read, that detour sign.
OUTRO:
Should have read that detour sign.
Should have read that detour sign.
Detour!
