Patti Page - Detour lyrics

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 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 5 years in jail Should have read (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, more sorrow I know Should have read (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 Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet Should have read (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 (that detour sign)
