Detour - Tex Williams
Headed down
Life's crooked road
Lot of things I never knowed
And 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 the 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 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
Should have read that detour sign
