[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......
