Lyrics Detour Ahead - Ella Fitzgerald
Smooth
road,
clear
day
But
why
am
I
the
only
one
travelin′
this
way?
How
strange
the
road
to
love
should
be
so
easy
Can't
you
see
the
detour
ahead?
Wake
up,
slow
down
Before
you
crash
and
break
your
heart,
gullible
clown
You
fool,
you′re
headed
in
the
wrong
direction
Can't
you
see
the
detour
ahead?
The
further
you
travel,
the
harder
to
unravel
the
web
She
spins
around
you
Turn
back
while
there's
time
Don′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
that
sorrow
Smooth
road,
clear
day
No
detour
ahead
The
further
you
travel
The
harder
to
unravel
the
web
she
spins
around
you
Turn
back
while
there's
time
Don′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
that
sorrow
Smooth
road,
clear
day
No
detour,
no
detour,
no
detour
ahead
