[00:13.11]A farmer and a teacher, ,
[00:16.41]a hooker and a preacher
[00:19.55]Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
[00:25.59]One's headed for vacation, one for higher education,
[00:31.90]And two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
[00:37.43]That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
[00:44.19]An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.
[00:49.35]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
[00:56.22]Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
[01:00.92]I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
[01:08.33]It's what you leave behind you when you go.
[01:13.78]That farmer left a harvest,
[01:17.12]a home and eighty acres,
[01:19.95]The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart.
[01:25.85]An' that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children:
[01:32.05]Did her best to give 'em all a better start.
[01:38.05]An' that preacher whispered: "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
[01:43.63]As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand.
[01:49.80]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
[01:57.32]Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
[02:01.96]I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
[02:08.90]It's what you leave behind you when you go.
[02:14.99]That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday.
[02:20.70]As he held that blood-stained bible up,
[02:23.80]For all of us to see.
[02:26.30]He said: "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' the preacher;
[02:32.56]"Who gave this Bible to my mamma,
[02:36.67]"Who read it to me."
[02:41.71]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
[02:49.44]Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know.
[02:54.47]It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
[03:00.11]It's what you leave behind you when you go.
[03:05.60]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway.
