Hankerin' Lyrics
Detour - Elton Britt
Written by：Paul Westmoreland
Headed down life's crooked road lot of
Things I never knowed
And 'cause 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 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 stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Had no will power to get from
The hole that I'm in yet
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
