Artist/Band: Randy Travis
Lyrics for Song: Three Wooden Crosses
Lyrics for Album: I Told You So - The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis (2 CD) [2009]



A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher

Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico

One was 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

And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children

Did her best to give 'em 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.



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, and 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

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.



There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway.
