The old man filled the tank and as I laid a twenty down
I asked him how'd you end up in this one horse town
He said I was headed out to L.A. to see my name in lights
Til that detour sign
Made me exit, so I caught breakfast down at Jim's Cafe
Maria poured my coffee, flashed a smile and asked my name
He said three miles off the highway, life turned on a dime
But it sure worked out right
Cause 30 years and three kids later love says grace round a dinner table
He said I'm glad the man upstairs knew a whole lot more than me
I found love, I met fate, would've missed 'em both in the passing lane
Cause nobody lives on the interstate I've learned
Life's in the detours
He said life is what happens while your busy making plans
And God's probably up there laughing cause we think it's in our hands
He said I don't mind a road block, one time a big orange sign
Sure did save my life
Now 30 years and three kids later love says grace round a dinner table
He said I'm glad the man upstairs knew a whole lot more than me
Cause I found love, I met fate, would've missed 'em both in the passing lane
Cause nobody lives on the interstate I've learned
Life's in the detours
We said goodbye and I headed west
I turned off my GPS
I don't know where I'll end up next
But I'm soaking up that red sunset
And everything I learned
In the detour
Life's in the detours
