“God Bless This Mess” is the opening track of Detours. The song is a lo-fi, compressed-sounding recording of Sheryl singing with only the backing of her acoustic guitar.

God Bless This Mess Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Daddy's in the hallway, hangin' pictures on the wall
Mama's in the kitchen, makin' casseroles for all
My brother came home yesterday from somewhere far away
He doesn't look like I remember as he stares off into space
He must have seen some ugly things out there
He just can't seem to say, oh
[Chorus]
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
[Verse 2]
Got a job in town, sellin' insurance on the phone
With Robert and Teresa and two conmen from back home
Everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
Everybody is so busy doin' this and doin' that
Something has gone missin' and it makes me kinda sad, oh
[Chorus]
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
[Verse 3]
Heard about the day that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen, policemen, people came from all around
The smoke covered the city and the body count did rise
The president spoke words of comfort with teardrops in his eyes
Then he led us as a nation into a war based on lies, oh
[Chorus]
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
