Detour Lyrics - Dean Martin

Headed down life's crooked road 

Lots of things there that I never knowed 

Because of me not knowin' I now pine 

Trouble got right on my trail 

I 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, all these bitter things I find 

Should have read that detour sign

Well when I got to the place 

Where that sign told be about my face 

Well, I figured all of my worries were behind 

But the farther I go 

I find more chug holes there in the road 

I should have read that detour sign 

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead 

Detour, paid no mind to what it said 

Detour, all these bitter things I find 

Should have read that detour sign 

Well, I got stuck down in the mud 

All my hopes fell there with a thud 

I felt like my heartstrings were made of twine 

I had no power to get 

From that hole I was in yet 

I should have read that detour sign
