[C]A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,[Am] ridin' on a [F]
[C]midnight bus, bound for Mexico.[G]
One was headed f[C]or vacation, one for higher education, and [Am]
[F]two of them were searchin' for[G] lost souls.[C]
That driv[Dm]er never, ever saw the stop sign, and eight[G]een-[Dm]
wheelers can't stop on a dime.[G]
Chorus:
Now There ar[C]e three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway.[Am]
Why[F] there's not four of them[C] heaven only knows.[G]
I guess it's not what[C] you take when you leave this world behind you.[Am]
It's wh[F]at you leave behind you when y[G]ou go.[C]
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres, a faith and love for growin' things in his young son's heart.And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children and did her best to give'm all a better start.And that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the promised land?"as he laid his blood-stained Bible in that hooker's hand.Chorus:Bridge:
[Am] [F] [C]That's the story that our preacher told last[G] Sunday, as he held
that blood-stained Bible up for all of us to see. He said,[G]
"Bless the farmer and[Am] the teacher and the prea[G]cher[F]
who gave this Bible to my mama, who read it to me."[G]
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway. Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know.you see 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 [C]wooden crosses on the right side of the [G]
[C]highway.
