0:19Headed down life's crooked road lots of things I never knowed
0:24Because of me not knowin' I now pine
0:28Trouble got in the trail spent the next five years in jail
0:33Should have read that detour sign
0:38'Detour there's a muddy road ahead' detour
0:45Paid no mind to what it said
0:47Detour oh these bitter things I find
0:52Should have read that detour sign
0:57When I got right to the place where it said 'about face'
1:02I thought that all my worries were behind
1:06But the farther I go more sorrow I know
1:11Should have read that detour sign
1:16'Detour there's a muddy road ahead' detour
1:23Paid no mind to what it said
1:25Detour oh these bitter things I find
1:30Should have read that detour sign
1:54When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
1:59I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
2:04No willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
2:08Should have read that detour sign
2:13'Detour there's a muddy road ahead' detour
2:20Paid no mind to what it said
2:22Detour oh these bitter things I find
2:27Should have read that detour sign
2:32Should have read that detour sign
2:37Should 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 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 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 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 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 that detour sign Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign
