[G] [C]
Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never know, and the cause of me not knowing I [G] now find.
[C] Trouble got in the trail, spent the next five years in jail, should [G] have read that [C] detour sign.
[Dm] Detour, there's a muddy road [A] ahead, [C] detour, paid no mind to what it said.
[Dm] Detour, all these bitter things I find, should [G] have read that [C] detour sign.
When I got right to the place where it said about faith, I thought all my worries were [G] behind.
But [C] the further I go, the more sorrow I know, should [G] have read that detour sign.
[F] Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, [Am] detour, paid [C] no mind to what it said.
[F] Detour, all these bitter things I find, should [G] have read that detour [C] sign.

I [C] got no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet, [G] should have read that [C] detour sign.
[F] Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, [C] detour, paid no mind to what it [F] said.
Detour, all these bitter things I find, [G] should have read, Lord, should have read that [C] detour sign.
