《Three Wooden Crosses》歌词

[00:00:00] Three Wooden Crosses - The Global HitMakers

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:42] 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 when you leave this world behind you

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

[00:01:12] That farmer left a harvest a home and eighty acres

[00:01:18] The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart

[00:01:24] An' that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children

[00:01:30] Did her best to give 'em all a better start

[00:01:36] An' that preacher whispered "Can't you see the Promised Land "

[00:01:42] As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand

[00:01:48] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

[00:01:55] Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows

[00:02:00] I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you

[00:02:07] It's what you leave behind you when you go

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

[00:02:18] As he held that blood-stained bible up for all of us to see

[00:02:24] He said "Bless the farmer and the teacher an' the preacher

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

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

[00:02:47] Why there's not four of them now I guess we know

[00:02:53] 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

[00:03:04] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
