Detour

Author:  Paul  Westmoreland - Hill Range

Headed down life's crooked road;
Lot of things I never knowed.
Because of my not knowing, I now pine.
Trouble got in the trail;
Spent the next five years in jail.
Should have read that Detour sign.

Chorus:
Detour!  There's a muddy road ahead!
"Detour!" I paid no mind to what is said. "Detour!"
All these bitter things I find;
Should have read that Detour sign.

When I've got to the place,
Where it said "a-bout face,"
I thought that all my worries were behind.
But the farther I go,
More sorrow I know;
Should have read that Detour sign.

When I've got stuck in the mud,
All my hopes dropped with a thud.
My life seemed to pass before my eyes.
Got no will power to get,
From the hole that I'm in yet;
Should have read that Detour sign.

Should have read that Detour sign.
