detour
Travelin' down life's crooked road,  Lots of things there I never knowed Because of me not knowin' now I pine,  Trouble got on my trail I 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 is said Detour - all these bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign  Well when I got to the place where that sign told me to face Well I figured all of my worries were behind but the further I go I find more chug holes there in the road,  I should have read that detour sign  [Chorus]  Well, I got stuck down in the mud,  All my hopes fell there with a thud I felt like my heartstrings were made of twine,  I had no power to get From that hole I was in yet,  Should have read that detour sign
