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...
  Should have read that detour sign should have read that detour sign
