Hank Thompson - Detour lyrics

DETOUR

(Paul Westmoreland)

« © '45 Unichappell Music »

Headed down life's crooked road lot of things I never knowed

And because of me not knowing I now pine

Trouble's 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 father I go the more sorrow

I knowShould have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road...

Detour there's a muddy road...

Should have read that detour sign
