How 'bout the lyrics to Detour--something about "There's a muddy road ahead, detour. ...... Should have read that detour sign."

Thanks, as always.

dang. Took me four minutes....

Worse than that, Gene has taken to claiming that he beat me, just because he's the one who posted the lyrics three years ago....

Refresh. "Should have read that detour sign"

"Detour (There's a Muddy Road Ahead)" is a Western swing ballad written by Paul Westmoreland in 1945.

Detour

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

Should have read that Detour sign
