Detour Lyrics - Hank Thompson

DETOUR 

(Paul Westmoreland) 

'45 Unichappell Music 

Headed down life's crooked road lot of things I never knowed 

And because of me not knowing I now pine 

Trouble's 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 further I go the more sorrow 

I know, Should have read that detour sign 

Detour there's a muddy road... 

Detour there's a muddy road... 

Should have read that detour sign
