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
An 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
