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
