[Verse 1]
AD farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
GRiding on a midnight bus bDound for MeAxico
One wasD headed for vacation, one for hBigher education
And tGwo of them were seAarchin' for a lost sDouls
ThatG driver never ever saw thAe stop sign
And Geighteen wheelers can't stop on a dAime……..There are
[Chorus]
DThree wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
GWhy there's not four of them, heDaven only knAows
I guess it'sD not what you take when youB leave this world behind you
It's Gwhat you leave behAind you when you Dgo
[Verse 2]
ThatD farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
A fGaith and love for growin' things Din his young son's hAeart
And that tDeacher left her wisdom in the Bmind's of lots of children
And did her Gbest to give em' aAll a better sDtart
And that pGreacher whispered, "can't you see the Apromised land?"
As he lay his Gbloodstained bible in that hooker's Ahand………There are
[Chorus]
DThree wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
GWhy there's not four of them, heDaven only knAows
I guess it'sD not what you take when youB leave this world behind you
It's Gwhat you leave behAind you when you Dgo
[Verse 3]
That's the Bstory that our pAreacher told last SGunday
As he hDeld that bloodstained bible up for aAll of us to see
He said, "bless the Bfarmer and the Ateacher and the Gpreacher"
Who gave this Gbible to my mama, who Aread it to me………..There are
[Chorus]
DThree wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
GWhy there's not four of them, heDaven only knAows
I guess it'sD not what you take when youB leave this world behind you
It's Gwhat you leave behAind you when you Dgo
[Outro]
There are,D three wooden crosses on the Bright side of the highwDay
