DETOUR

Dean Martin

Compositor: 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...

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 know
Should have read that detour sign

Detour there's a muddy road ahead...
[ horns ]
Detour there's a muddy road ahead...
Should have read that detour sign should have read that detour sign
