Detour
recorded by Hank Thompson
written by Paul Westmoreland
 
G
Headed down life's crooked road 
 
Lot of things I never knowed
                                    D7
And because of me not knowing I now pine
        G
Trouble got in the trail 
                     
Spent the next five years in jail
            D7               G    G7
Should have read that detour sign
 
   C
De-tour there's a muddy road ahead 
D7  G                                G7
De-tour paid no mind to what it said
   C
De-tour oh these bitter things I find 
            G    D7          G
Should have read that detour sign
 
 
When I got right to the place 
 
Where it said about face
                                     D7
I thought that all my worries were behind
        G
But the father I go the more sorrow I know
            D7               G
Should have read that detour sign
 
Repeat #2
 
When I got stuck in the mud
 
All my hopes dropped with a thud
                                         D7
I guess that my heart stings are made of twine
       G
Had no will power to get from the hole that I'm in yet
            D7               G
Should have read that detour sign
 
Repeat #2
