Three Wooden Crosses

In the style of

Randy Travis

Lyrics

a farmer
and a teacher
a hooker
and a preacher
ridin' on
a midnight bus
bound for mexico

one was headed
for vacation
one for
higher education
and two of them
were searchin' for
lost souls

that driver
never ever saw
the stop sign
and eighteen-
wheelers can't stop
on a dime

there are
three wooden
crosses
on the right side
of the highway
why there's not
four of them
heaven only knows

i guess it's
not what you take
when you
leave this world
behind you
it's what you
leave behind you
when you go

that farmer
left a harvest
a home
and eighty acres
the faith and love
for growin' things
in his
young son's heart

and that teacher
left her wisdom
in the minds
of lots of children
did her best
to give 'em all
a better start

and that preacher
whispered
can't you see
the promised land
as he lay his
blood-stained bible
in that hooker's hand

there are
three wooden
crosses
on the right side
of the highway
why there's not
four of them
heaven only knows

i guess it's
not what you take
when you
leave this world
behind you
it's what you
leave behind you
when you go

that's the story
that our preacher
told last sunday
as he held that
blood-stained
bible up
for all of us to see

he said
bless the farmer
and the teacher
and that preacher
who gave this bible
to my mama
who read it to me

there are
three wooden
crosses
on the right side
of the highway
why there's not
four of them
now i guess we know

it's not what you take
when you
leave this world
behind you
it's what you
leave behind you
when you go

there are
three wooden
crosses
on the right side of
the highway
