Album: Houston [Reprise]
(Paul Westmoreland)
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.
Headin' down life's crooked road
Lot of things I never knowed
And 'cause 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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...
