Spade Cooley - Detour lyrics

Headed down life's crooked road Lots of things there that I never knowed Because of me not knowin' I now pine Trouble got right on my trail I 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, all these bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign Well when I got to the place Where that sign told be about my face Well, I figured all of my worries were behind But the farther I go I find more chug holes there in the road I should have read that detour sign Detour, there's a muddy road ahead Detour, paid no mind to what it said Detour, all these bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign Well, I got stuck down in the mud All my hopes fell there with a thud I felt like my heartstrings were made of twine I had no power to get From that hole I was in yet I should have read that detour sign Detour, there's a muddy road ahead Detour, paid no mind to what it said Detour, all these bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign
