Three Wooden Crosses - Randy Travis

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 2 of them were searchin for lost souls
That driver never ever saw the stop sign and 18 wheelers cant stop on the dime

*chorus*
There are 3 wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why theres not 4 of them heaven only knows
I guess its not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Its what you leave behind you when you go

That farmer left a harvest a home and 80 acres
The faith and love for growing things in his young sons heart
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give them all a better start
And that preacher whisperd cant you see the promise land?
As he layed his bloodstain bible in that hookers hand

*chorus*

Thats the story that our preacher told last sunday
As he held that bloodstain bible up for all of us to see
He said bless that farmer and the teacher and the preacher
Who gave this bible to my mama who read it to me

There are 3 wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why theres not 4 of them now i guess we know
Its not what you take when you leave this world behind
It what you leave behind you when you go

There are 3 wooden crosses on the rightside of the highway
