Intro: C Em7 Am Am7/G
C Em7 Am Am7/G
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
F C G
ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
C Em7 Am Am7/G
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
F G C
and two of them were searchin' for lost souls
Dm G
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
Dm Gsus4 G
and eighteen-wheelers can't stop on a dime.
C Em7
There are three wooden crosses,
Am Am7/G
on the right side of the highway
F C G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
C Em7
I guess it's, not what you take
Am Am7/G
when you leave this world behind you
F G C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
C Em7 Am Am7/G
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
F
the faith and love for growin' things
C G
in his young sons heart
C Em7
And that teacher left her wisdom
Am Am7/G
in the minds of lots of children
F G C
Did her best to give'em all a better start
Dm
And that preacher whispered,
G
"Can't you see that promised land?"
Dm
as he laid his bloodstained bible
Gsus4 G
in that hookers hand
C Em7
There are three wooden crosses
Am Am7/G
on the right side of the highway
F C G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
C Em7
I guess it's, not what you take
Am Am7/G
when you leave this world behind you
F G C
it's what you leave behind you when you go
Am Am7/G F
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday,
C
as he held that bloodstained bible up
G
for all of us to see
Am Am7/G
He said, bless the farmer, and the teacher,
F F/E
and that preacher
Dm Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
Who gave this Bible to my Momma, Who read it to me
Chorus:
C Em7
There are three wooden crosses
Am Am7/G
on the right side of the highway
F C G
why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
C Em7
It's not what you take,
Am Am7/G
when you leave this world behind you,
F G C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
C Em7
There are three wooden crosses
Am Am7/G C
on the right side of the highway
