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 5 years in jail
|
Should have read (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, more sorrow I know
|
Should have read (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 (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 (that detour sign)
|
