Headed down life's crooked road
Lot of things I never knowed
And because of me not knowing I now pine
Trouble got in the trail
Spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
De-tour there's a muddy road ahead
De-tour paid no mind to what it said
De-tour oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got right to the place
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the father I go the more sorrow I know
Should have read that detour sign
Repeat #2
I guess that my heart stings are made of twine
Had no will power to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read that detour sign
Repeat #2
