Detour Lyrics

DETOUR



WRITER PAUL WESTMORELAND











Headed down life's crooked road lot of things I never knowed



And 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 the bitter things I find should have read that detour sign



[ harmonica - guitar ]



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 I know should have read that detour sign



Detour there's a muddy road ahead...



Should have read that detour sign should have read that detour sign
