De - Tour there's a muddy road ahead,
De - Tour paid no mind to what I said.
De - Tour oh these bitter thing's I find,
Should have read that detour sign.
Verse II.
Headed down life's crooked road, Lot of thing's 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.
(Repeat Verse I)
Verse III.
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.
(Repeat Verse I)
Verse IV.
When I got stuck in the mud, All my hopes dropped with a thud.
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine,
Had no will power to get from the hole that I'm in yet.
Should have read that detour sign.
(Repeat Verse I)
