[00:13.20]A farmer and a teacher
[00:15.99]A hooker and a preacher
[00:19.06]Riding on a midnight bus
[00:22.10]Bound for Mexico
[00:24.96]One was heading for vacation
[00:27.74]One for higher education
[00:31.18]And two of them were searching for lost souls
[00:32.87]
[00:33.83]That driver never ever saw the stop sign
[00:43.37]And 18 wheelers can't stop on a dime
[00:48.81]
[00:49.39]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[00:55.63]Why there's not four of them heaven only knows
[00:58.67]I guess it's not what you take
[01:03.85]When you leave this world behind you
[01:07.67]It's what you leave behind you when you go
[01:13.55]
[01:14.61]That farmer left a harvest
[01:16.76]A home and 80 acres
[01:19.78]The faith and love for growing things
[01:22.86]In his young son's heart
[01:25.26]
[01:25.77]And that teacher left her wisdom
[01:28.69]In the minds of lots of children
[01:31.67]Did her best to give 'em all
[01:32.76]A better start
[01:37.90]
[01:38.27]And that preacher whispered
[01:40.98]"Can't you see the promised land?"
[01:43.22]As he lay his blood stained Bible
[01:46.17]In that hooker's hand
[01:47.37]
[01:49.55]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[01:52.83]Why there's not four of them heaven only knows
[01:56.56]I guess it's not what you take
[01:59.35]When you leave this world behind you
[02:08.36]It's what you leave behind you when you go
[02:14.11]
[02:14.46]That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
[02:20.17]As he held that blood stained Bible up
[02:23.56]For all of us to see
[02:25.61]He said, "Bless the farmer
[02:27.94]And the teacher
[02:29.37]And the preacher
[02:32.05]Who gave this Bible to my momma
[02:35.35]Who read it to me"
[02:39.22]
[02:41.19]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[02:44.44]Why there's not four of them now I guess we know
[02:50.91]It's not what you take
[02:56.18]When you leave this world behind you
[02:59.98]It's what you leave behind you when you go
[03:05.74]
[03:06.36]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway......
