Detour

Detour - Ferlin Husky

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

Knowed

And because 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

When I got right to replace

We are said about face

I forget o my memories behind

But the father I go the more sorrow I know

Should have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road ahead

Detour

I paid no mind

To what it said

Detour oh the 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 my strings were made of

Twine

At know well thought a gift

From hole day I'm here

Should have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road ahead

Detour

I paid no mind

To what it said

Detour oh the bitter things I find should have read

That detour sign
