《Three Wooden Crosses》歌词

[00:00:00] Three Wooden Crosses - Johan Stemmet

[00:00:08] A farmer and a teacher a hooker and a preacher

[00:00:14] Ridin on a midnight bus bound for mexico

[00:00:19] One's headed for vacation one for higher education

[00:00:25] An two of them were searchin for lost souls

[00:00:31] That driver never ever saw the stop sign

[00:00:37] An eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime

[00:00:42] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

[00:00:48] Why there's not four of them

[00:00:51] Heaven only knows

[00:00:53] I guess it's not what you take

[00:00:56] When you leave this world behind you

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

[00:01:04] That farmer left a harvest

[00:01:08] A home and eighty acres

[00:01:10] The faith an love for growin things

[00:01:13] In his young son's heart

[00:01:16] An that teacher left her wisdom

[00:01:19] In the minds of lots of children

[00:01:22] Did her best to give em all a better start

[00:01:27] An that preacher whispered

[00:01:29] Can't you see the promised land

[00:01:32] As he laid his blood stained bible in that hooker's hand

[00:01:38] There are three wooden crosses

[00:01:41] On the right side of the highway

[00:01:45] Why there's not four of them

[00:01:47] Heaven only knows

[00:01:49] I guess it's not what you take

[00:01:52] When you leave this world behind you

[00:01:56] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:02:01] That's the story that our preacher told last sunday

[00:02:07] As he held that blood stained bible up

[00:02:10] For all of us to see

[00:02:12] He said bless the farmer and the teacher an the preacher

[00:02:18] Who gave this bible to my mamma who read it to me

[00:02:26] There are three wooden crosses

[00:02:29] On the right side of the highway

[00:02:33] Why there's not four of them now i guess we know

[00:02:38] It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you

[00:02:44] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:02:49] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
