A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One's headed for vacation, one for higher
education,
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side
of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave
this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty
acres,
The faith an' love for growin' things in his
young son's heart.
An' that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of
lots of children:
Did her best to give 'em all a better start.
An' that preacher whispered: "Can't you see the
Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that
hooker's hand.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side
of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave
this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
That's the story that our preacher told last
Sunday.
As he held that blood-stained bible up,
For all of us to see.
He said: "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an'
the preacher;
"Who gave this Bible to my mamma,
"Who read it to me."
There are three wooden crosses on the right side
of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we
know.
It's not what you take when you leave this world
behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side
of the highway.
