Three Wooden Crosses - The Mick Lloyd Connection[00:00:00]
Written by:Doug Johnson/Kim Edwin Williams[00:00:05]
A farmer and a teacher a hooker and a preacher[00:00:11]
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico[00:00:17]
One was headed for vacation one for higher education[00:00:23]
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls[00:00:29]
That driver never ever saw the stop sign[00:00:35]
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime[00:00:41]
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway[00:00:47]
Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows[00:00:54]
I guess it's not what you take[00:00:59]
When you leave this world behind you[00:01:02]
It's what you leave behind you when you go[00:01:06]
That farmer left a harvest a home and eighty acres[00:01:11]
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart[00:01:17]
And that teacher left her wisdom[00:01:23]
In the minds of lots of children[00:01:26]
Did her best to give 'em all a better start[00:01:29]
An' that preacher whispered can't you see the Promised Land[00:01:35]
As he laid his blood stained Bible in that hooker's hand[00:01:41]
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway[00:01:47]
Why there's not four of them heaven only knows[00:01:54]
I guess it's not what you take[00:01:59]
When you leave this world behind you[00:02:02]
It's what you leave behind you when you go[00:02:06]
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday[00:02:12]
As he held that blood stained bible up[00:02:18]
For all of us to see[00:02:21]
He said Bless the farmer and the teacher an' that preacher[00:02:23]
Who gave this Bible to my mama who read it to me[00:02:30]
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway[00:02:39]
Why there's not four of them now I guess we know[00:02:46]
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you[00:02:52]
It's what you leave behind you when you go[00:02:58]
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway[00:03:03]
