Detour Ahead

Detour Ahead
music & lyric by Johnny Frigo,
Lou Carter & Herb Ellis

Smooth road, clear day, but why am I the only one travelin' this way?
How strange the road you love should be so easy.
Can there be a detour ahead?

Wake up, slow down before you crash and break your heart, gullible clown...

You fool, you're headin' in the wrong direction.
Can't you see the detour ahead?

The further you travel, the harder to unravel the way he spins around you.
Turn back while there is time;
Can't you see the danger sign?
Soft shoulders surround you.

Smooth road, clear night; oh, lucky me, that suddenly I saw the light.
I'm turning back away from all this trouble.
Smooth road, smooth road,
No detour ahead...
