A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacherRidin' on a midnight bus bound for MexicoOne was headed for vacation, one for higher educationAnd two of them were searchin' for lost soulsThat driver never ever saw the stop signAn' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dimeThere are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highwayWhy there's not four of them, Heaven only knowsI guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind youIt's what you leave behind you when you goThat farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acresThe faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heartAnd that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of childrenDid her best to give 'em all a better startAn' that preacher whispered (Can't you see the Promised Land?)As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's handThere are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highwayWhy there's not four of them Heaven only knowsI guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind youIt's what you leave behind you when you goThat's a story that our preacher told last SundayAs he held that blood-stained bible upFor all of us to seeHe said (Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' 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 highwayWhy there's not four of them, now I guess we knowIt's not what you take when you leave this world behind youIt's what you leave behind you when you goThere are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway...
