Detour Ahead
HERB ELLIS, JOHN FRIGO, LOU CARTER
Smooth road, clear day
but why am I the only one travelling this way?
How strange the road to love should be so easy
There must be a detour ahead.
Wake up, slow down!
Before you crash and break your heart
you gullible clown!
You fool, you're headed in the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead?
The farther you travel
the harder to unravel
the web he spins around you.
Turn back while there's 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 going back away from all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead.
