[00:00:00] Three Wooden Crosses - The Mick Lloyd Connection

[00:00:05] Written by：Doug Johnson/Kim Edwin Williams

[00:00:11] A farmer and a teacher a hooker and a preacher

[00:00:17] Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico

[00:00:23] One was headed for vacation one for higher education

[00:00:29] And two of them were searchin' for lost souls

[00:00:35] That driver never ever saw the stop sign

[00:00:41] An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime

[00:00:47] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

[00:00:54] Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows

[00:00:59] I guess it's not what you take

[00:01:02] When you leave this world behind you

[00:01:06] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:01:11] That farmer left a harvest a home and eighty acres

[00:01:17] The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart

[00:01:23] And that teacher left her wisdom

[00:01:26] In the minds of lots of children

[00:01:29] Did her best to give 'em all a better start

[00:01:35] An' that preacher whispered can't you see the Promised Land

[00:01:41] As he laid his blood stained Bible in that hooker's hand

[00:01:47] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

[00:01:54] Why there's not four of them heaven only knows

[00:01:59] I guess it's not what you take

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

[00:02:06] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:02:12] That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday

[00:02:18] As he held that blood stained bible up

[00:02:21] For all of us to see

[00:02:23] He said Bless the farmer and the teacher an' that preacher

[00:02:30] Who gave this Bible to my mama who read it to me

[00:02:39] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

[00:02:46] Why there's not four of them now I guess we know

[00:02:52] It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you

[00:02:58] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:03:03] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
