《Three Wooden Crosses》歌词

[00:00:00] Three Wooden Crosses - Hit Co. Masters

[00:00:12] A farmer and a teacher

[00:00:15] A hooker and a preacher

[00:00:18] Riding on a midnight bus bound for Mexico

[00:00:24] One's headed for vacation

[00:00:27] One for higher education

[00:00:30] An two of them were searching for lost souls

[00:00:36] That driver never ever saw the stop sign

[00:00:43] An eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime

[00:00:48] There are three wooden crosses

[00:00:51] On the right side of the highway

[00:00:55] Why there's not four of them

[00:00:58] Heaven only knows

[00:01:00] I guess it's not what you take

[00:01:03] When you leave this world behind you

[00:01:07] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:01:13] That farmer left a harvest

[00:01:16] A home and eighty acres

[00:01:19] The faith an love for growing

[00:01:21] Things in his young son's heart

[00:01:24] An that teacher left her wisdom

[00:01:28] In the minds of lots of children

[00:01:31] Did her best to give them all a better start

[00:01:37] An that preacher whispered

[00:01:39] Can't you see the Promised Land

[00:01:42] As he laid his blood-stained bible

[00:01:45] In that hooker's hand

[00:01:49] There are three wooden crosses

[00:01:52] On the right side of the highway

[00:01:56] Why there's not four of them

[00:01:59] Heaven only knows

[00:02:01] I guess it's not what you take

[00:02:04] When you leave this world behind you

[00:02:08] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:02:13] That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday

[00:02:20] As he held that blood-stained bible up for

[00:02:23] All of us to see

[00:02:25] He said Bless the farmer and the teacher

[00:02:29] An the preacher

[00:02:31] Who gave this Bible to my mamma

[00:02:35] Who read it to me

[00:02:40] There are three wooden crosses

[00:02:43] On the right side of the highway

[00:02:47] Why there's not four of them

[00:02:50] Now I guess we know

[00:02:54] It's not what you take when you leave

[00:02:57] This world behind you

[00:02:59] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:03:05] There are three wooden crosses

[00:03:08] On the right side of the highway
