And it died like a crooked road,
I do things I never know,
And because of me not knowing,
I'm [A] now fine.
Trouble [D] got right on my trail,
[Bm] I spent the next five [G] years in jail,
Should have [A] read that Detour sign.

Detour, [G] there's a muddy road ahead,
[D] Detour, they don't mind what it said,
[G] Detour, all the bitter things [Em] I've imagined,
[A] Should have [F#] read that [D] Detour sign.

I got stuck [Dm] in the mud,
[D] All my hopes dropped with a thud,
[Dm] And I thought that my heartstrings were [A] made of twine,
[D] But the farther I go,
[B] The more sorrow that I know,
[A] Should have read that [D] Detour sign.
[G] Detour, there's a muddy road ahead,
[D] Detour, they don't [E] mind what it said,
[G] Detour, all the bitter things [A] I've imagined,
Should have read [D] that Detour sign.
