Trouble Guard
Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things I never know
And because of me not
knowing now I pine
Trouble Guard in the trail
Spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign
Detour
There's a muddy road ahead
Detour
Ain't no mind to what it says
Detour
All the better things I find
Should have read that detour sign
When I got right to the place
Where it said about faith
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go,
the more sorrow I know
Should have read that teacher's sign
Me too, there's a muddy road ahead
Me too, ain't no mind to what it says
Me too, all these bad ass things I find
Should have read,
or should have read that teacher's
sign
When I got stuck in the mud
All my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess my heartstrings are made of twine
Got no willpower to get from that
hole that I'm in, yeah
Should have read, Lord,
should have read that detour sign
Detour
There's a muddy road ahead
Detour
Ain't no mind to what it said
Detour
All the bitter things I find
Should have read, Lord,
should have read that detour sign
De tour
There's a muddy road ahead
Detour
Ain't no mind to what it said
Detour
All the better things I'll find
Should have read that detour sign
