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
