(Paul Westmoreland)      Detour, there's a muddy road ahead   Detour, paid no mind to what it said   Detour, oh, these bitter things I find   Should have read that detour sign.      Headin' down life's crooked road   Lot of things I never knowed   And 'cause 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, these bitter things I find   Should have read that detour sign.      When I got right to the place   Where it said about face   I thought that all my worries were behind   But the farther I go   The more sorrow I know   Should have read that detour sign.      Detour, there's a muddy road ahead   Detour, paid no mind to what it said   Detour, oh, these bitter things I find   Should have read that detour sign.      --- Instrumental ---      Detour there's a muddy road ahead   Detour, paid no mind to what it said   Detour, oh, these bitter things I find   Should have read that detour sign.      Should have read that detour sign.   Should have read that detour sign...
