Detour (Feat. Emmylou Harris)

Headed down life's crooked road Lots of things I never knowed But because of me not knowin' now I 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, all 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, all 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 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, all these bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign
