[Verse 1]
       G                        
Headed down life's crooked road, 
         G
lots of things I never knowed,
      G                            
but because of me not knowin', I 
  D
now pine.
        G                          
Trouble got in the trail, spent the
 C
 next five years in jail,
          D                G
should've read that detour sign.

[Chorus]
  C               C
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
  G             G
detour, paid no mind to what it 
said.
  C               C
Detour, oh, these bitter things I 
find,
            D                G
should have read that detour sign.

       G                           
When I got right to the place where
    G
 it said "About Face",
  G                             
I thought of all my worries were 
   D
behind.
        G                     C
But the farther I go the more sorrow
 I know,
            D                G
should have read that detour sign.

[Chorus]
  C               C
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
  G             G
detour, paid no mind to what it 
said.
  C               C
Detour, oh, these bitter things I 
find,
            D                G
should have read that detour sign, 
let's go.

[Verse 3]
       G                           
When I got stuck in the mud, all my
 G
 hopes dropped with a thud,
  G                                
I guess that my heart strings were 
        D
made of twine.
        G                         
Have no willpower to get from the 
C
hole that I'm in yet,
            D                G
should have read that detour sign.

[End-Chorus]
  C               C
Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
  G             G
detour, paid no mind to what it 
said.
  C               C
Detour, oh, these bitter things I 
find,
            D                G
should have read that detour sign.
            D                G
Should have read that detour sign
            D                      G
Should have read that detour sign.
