Headed down life’s crooked road Lot of things I never knowd Cause I didn’t know 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 is said Detour Oh these bitter things I find Should have read that Detour sign
When I’ve got to the place Where it said “a-bout face” I thought that all my worries were behind But the farther I go More sorrow I know Should have read that Detour sign
When I’ve got stuck in the mud All my hopes dropped with a thud My life seemed to pass before my eyes Got no will power to get From the hole that I’m in yet Should have read that Detour sign
