Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh, these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
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
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
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
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
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
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
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign Explain Request ×
