Lyrics

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
Headed down life's crooked road
Lot of things I never know
And 'cause of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in my 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 sign
When I got back 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
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
Didn't have no will power to get
From the hole that I been at
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
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign (read that detour sign)
