Detour

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)
