Three Wooden Crosses - Country Dance Kings[00:00:00]
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's headed for vacation one for higher education[00:00:23]
An 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[00:00:54]
Heaven only knows[00:00:57]
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[00:01:11]
A home and eighty acres[00:01:15]
The faith an love for growin things[00:01:18]
In his young son's heart[00:01:21]
An 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[00:01:36]
Can't you see the promised land[00:01:37]
As he laid his blood stained bible in that hooker's hand[00:01:41]
There are three wooden crosses[00:01:48]
On the right side of the highway[00:01:50]
Why there's not four of them[00:01:55]
Heaven only knows[00:01:57]
I guess it's not what you take[00:01:59]
When you leave this world behind you[00:02:03]
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 the preacher[00:02:23]
Who gave this bible to my mamma who read it to me[00:02:30]
There are three wooden crosses[00:02:39]
On the right side of the highway[00:02:42]
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]
