Emmylou Harris - Detour lyrics

Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed 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 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 Let's go When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud I guess that my heart strings were made of twine No willpower to get from the hole 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 Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign
