《Three Wooden Crosses》歌词

[00:00:00] Three Wooden Crosses - Midday Sun

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

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

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

[00:00:24] One was headed for vacation

[00:00:27] One for higher education

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

[00:00:37] That driver never ever saw the stop sign

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

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

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

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

[00:00:59] Heaven only knows

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

[00:01:04] When you leave this world behind you

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

[00:01:14] That farmer left a harvest

[00:01:17] A home and eighty acres

[00:01:20] The faith an' love for growin' things

[00:01:23] In his young son's heart

[00:01:25] An' that teacher left her wisdom

[00:01:29] In the minds of lots of children:

[00:01:32] Did her best to give 'em all a better start

[00:01:38] An' that preacher whispered:

[00:01:40] "Can't you see the Promised Land "

[00:01:44] Lay his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand

[00:01:50] There are three wooden crosses

[00:01:53] On the right side of the highway

[00:01:57] Why there's not four of them

[00:02:00] Heaven only knows

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

[00:02:05] When you leave this world behind you

[00:02:09] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:02:15] That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday

[00:02:21] As he held that blood-stained bible up

[00:02:25] For all of us to see

[00:02:26] He says: "Bless the farmer and the teacher an' that preacher;

[00:02:33] "Who gave this Bible to my mamma

[00:02:37] "Who read it to me "

[00:02:42] There are three wooden crosses

[00:02:46] On the right side of the highway

[00:02:50] Why there's not four of them

[00:02:52] Now I guess we know

[00:02:55] It's not what you take

[00:02:58] When you leave this world behind you

[00:03:01] It's what you leave behind you when you go

[00:03:07] There are three wooden crosses

[00:03:10] On the right side of the highway
