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
