Detour Songtext
von Bill Keith

Headed down life′s crooked road
Lots of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowin'
I now find trouble guardin′ the trail
Spend the next five years in jail
I should have read that detour sign

Detour
There's a muddy road ahead
Detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour
All the better things I found
I should have read that detour sign

When I got right to the place
Where it said "About Face"
I thought my worries were behind
But the further I go the more sorrow I know
I should have read that detour sign


Detour
There's a muddy road ahead
Detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour
All the better things I found
I should have read that detour sign

When I got stuck in the mud
My hope dropped with a thud
I guess my heartstrings made of twine
Got no willpower to get from this hole I′m in
Yeah, I should have read that detour sign

Detour
There′s a muddy road ahead
Detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour
All the better things I found
I should have read that detour sign

Detour
There's a muddy road ahead
Detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour
All the better things I found
I should have read that detour sign


I should have read that detour sign
