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' that 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.

  • Diggin Up Bones
    "Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
    I set it on the table and I talked to it till four
    I read some old love letters right up till the break of dawn
    Yeah, I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones..."
  • On The Other Hand
    "On one hand I count the reasons I could stay with you
    And hold you close to me, all night long.
    So many lover's games I could play with you
    and on that hand I see no reason why it's wrong..."
  • Forever And Ever, Amen
    "You may think that I'm talking foolish
    You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
    You may wonder how I can promise you now
    This love that I feel for you..."
  • Too Gone Too Long
    "You've been too gone for too long
    It's too late to come back now
    Its been so long since you walked out my door
    Now you're just an old song nobody sings any more..."
  • Deeper Than The Holler
    "Well I've heard those city singers singin 'bout how they can love
    Deeper than the oceans higher than the stars above
    Well I come from the country and I know I ain't seen it all
    But I heard that oceans salty and the stars they sometimes fall..."
  • Is It Still Over?
    "Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
    And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
    You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall
    Just how the dream went..."
  • Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart
    "Since the day I was led to temptation
    And in weakness did let your love down
    I have prayed that time and compassion
    You'd come around..."
  • He Walked On Water
    "He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck
    He'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck
    His teeth were gone but what the heck
    I thought that he walked on water..."
