Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowin', I'm not fine
Trouble got right on my trail
I 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
I got stuck in the mud
all my hopes dropped with a thud
And I thought that my heart strings were made of twine
But the father I go
The more sorrow that 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 the bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign
