***** LIVING ON A DETOUR *****
(J.B. MICHAELS?/ALL RIGHTS RESERVED)
1ST VERSE
WHEN I?M LIVING HIGH AND LIVING WILD
MY LIFE HAS ITS UPS AND DOWNS
SO I SOMETIMES CHANGE DIRECTIONS
HOPING THINGS WILL SETTLE DOWN
2ND VERSE
I SET A PATH I THINK IS STRAIGHT
WHICH I TRAVEL FOR A WHILE
THEN COMES ALONG SOME BIG OL?SIGN
SAYING DETOUR ONE MORE MILE
CHORUS: I FEEL I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
AT EVERY TURN A FLAG I FIND
I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
WEAVING IN AND OUT OF SIGNS
3RD VERSE
THE DAILY CHANGE THE DETOUR MAKES
I WANDER ALL ABOUT
THOSE LITTLE SIGNS BRING ME GRIEF
SOMETIMES I SCREEM AND SHOUT
CHORUS I FEEL I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
AT EVERY TURN A FLAG I FIND
I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
WEAVING IN AND OUT OF SIGNS
BRIDGE:?.
THE GAL I LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
HER PATH I CAN NOT FIND
SHE HAS LEFT ME HERE ALL ALONE
BETWEEN THE DOUBLE LINES
TURNAROUND
CHORUS I FEEL I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
AT EVERY TURN A FLAG I FIND
I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
SWERVING IN AND OUT OF SIGNS
TAG I?M LIVING ON A DETOUR
