Three Wooden Crosses Lyrics
[00:04.14] A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
[00:09.96]
[00:18.31] Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
[00:24.69] One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
[00:30.78] And two of them were searchin' for lost souls
[00:36.12] That driver never ever saw the stop sign
[00:41.53] An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime
[00:47.83] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[00:55.12] Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
[01:01.09] I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
[01:07.01] It's what you leave behind you when you go
[01:11.44] That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
[01:18.97] The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart
[01:25.05] And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
[01:31.32] Did her best to give 'em all a better start
[01:36.13] An' that preacher whispered (Can't you see the Promised Land?)
[01:42.39] As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand
[01:47.89] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[01:55.50] Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows
[02:01.44] I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
[02:07.86] It's what you leave behind you when you go
[02:11.87] That's a story that our preacher told last Sunday
[02:18.99] As he held that blood-stained bible up
[02:23.13] For all of us to see
[02:25.08] He said (Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' that preacher)
[02:30.88] Who gave this Bible to my mamma
[02:34.86] (Who read it to me)
[02:37.54] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[02:47.13] Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
[02:53.24] It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
[02:59.07] It's what you leave behind you when you go
[03:03.85] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway...
