Headed down life's crooked road lot of things 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
Detour there's a muddy road ahead detour paid no mind to what it said
Detour oh the bitter things I find should have read that detour sign
[ harmonica - guitar ]
I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
And I thought that my heart strings were made of twine
But the father I go the more sorrow I know should have read that detour sign
Detour there's a muddy road ahead...

(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.

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...

DETOUR

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...

Traveling down life's crooked road
Lots of things there that I never knowed
Because of me not knowing I now pine
Trouble got on my trail
I spent the next five years in a jail
I 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
Well, when I got to the place
Where that sign told me about face
Well, I figured all of my worries were behind
But the further I go
I find more chug holes there in the road
I 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
Well, I got stuck down in the mud
All my hopes fell there with a thud
I felt like my heartstrings were made of twine
I had no power to get
From that hole that I was in yet
I 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

The future is clear
Let's get into gear
I'm willing to ask
Do you wanna go my way?
You're out on your own
You're never alone
There's people around
But do you wanna go my way?
They threw me out of town, said I'm a hooligan
They never want to see my ugly face again
I'm looking for a ride, I need to get someplace
I'm feeling disillusioned with the human race
Heat on the skyline, have you got the time?
I'll sit here by the road for yet another day
But whatever road you're taking, I will go that way
Theres trouble in town
They wanna see you go down
Let's make our escape
Do you wanna go my way?
I'll give you what's mine
I'll throw you a line
Just make up your mind
Do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?
Just give me a little trust
And answer me
Do you wanna go my way?
I don't know where I am but it's a long way from home
I haven't got a penny for the telephone
I don't know who my friend are, who my friends will be
But I'm feeling like it's happening for you and me
You're my driver, I'm your passenger
The night is looking friendlier than any day
We're racing into it and I will go that way
The future is bright
We'll drive by night
If anyone asks
We're busy making our own way
We'll sleep in the shade
And watch what we've made
They'll never catch on
So do you wanna go my way?
What do you want me to say?

'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 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, 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
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 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, oh these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign

(Taj Jackson/ Taryll Jackson/ TJ Jackson)
Nothing can hold me back
I'm stronger than before
You tried to knock me out
But I'm coming back for more
You and your selfish ways
You tried to hold me down
You bet that I would lose
But it's you who's losing now
Cause I'm on the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour
There's no thrifin' partner on the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour
They smile up in my face
Than stab me in the back
You didn't soul me out
You have to live with that
Turn on the TV screen
Flip on the radio
You can't get rid of me
My things unstoppable
Cause I take the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour
You can't stop me on the detour
I've been fortunate to take the detour
Should've believed in me
Should've never pulled me out
Said I would never be
I don't need you and your doubts
Didn't wanna see
Didn't wanna see me reach my destiny
Should've never pulled me out
I don't need you and your doubts
Didn't wanna see me reach my destiny
Dance...
Detour
Detour
There's no thrifin' partner
I've been fortunate - Detour

This schedual of no plan
A warmth without a sure gain
How can it sound too cold?
With all intent of the best console
This schedual of no plan
A warmth without a sure gain
I stepped into it
Then you said
"You left me in ruins"
How can it sound too cold?
With all intent of the best console
And a new way
Around an old pain
A new way
Around an old pain
I made this sketch so dark
I made this sketch so hard
I'm waiting for the game to begin
Please begin
You long forget
I wish it were easy
Its not
Too long forget
I wish it were easy
Its not
When you see...
There's no way
There's no way
Around an old pain
So I'll ask you to stay
