_ _ A farmer and [G#] a teacher, _ [A#] a [A#m] hooker and a preacher, _ [F#] _ _ riding on a midnight bus [C#] bound for Mexico.
[G#] _
_ [C#] One was headed for [Fm] [G#] vacation, _ [A#] one for [A#m] higher _ education, _ [F#] and two of them [G#] were searching
for [C#] lost _ souls. _
[F#] That driver never ever saw [G#] the stop _ sign, _ _ [D#m] and 18-wheelers can't stop on a [G#] dime. _ _ _ _
[C#] There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway.
_ [F#] _ Why there's not four of [C#] them, heaven [G#] only knows.
I guess [C#] it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
[F#] it's what you [G#] leave behind you when [C#] you go. _ _ _ _
That farmer left a [G#] harvest, _
[C#] a home and 80 acres, _ [F#] and faith and love for growing [C#] things
in his young [G#] son's heart.
[C#] That teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children,
[F#] and did her best to [G#] give them all a better [C#] _ start. _ _ _ _
[D#m] That preacher [F#] whispered, can't you see [G#] the promised land?
_ As he laid [F#] his bloodstained Bible in that [G#] hooker's _ hand.
_ _ And there [C#] are three wooden [G#] crosses [A#m]
on the right side [C#] of the highway. _
[F#] _ Why there's not four of them, [C#] heaven _ [G#] only knows. _
[C#] _ It's not [G#] what you take [C#] when you leave this world behind you,
[F#] it's what you leave [G#] behind you when you [C#] go.
_ Now _ _ [A#m] that's the story that our [G#] preacher told [F#] last Sunday. _ _ _
[C#] As he held that bloodstained Bible up [G#] for all of us to see,
he said [C#] bless the farmer _ and the teacher _
[F#] and the preacher
_ _ who gave this Bible [D#m] to my mama _
[G#] who read it to _ me.
_ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[C#] And there are three wooden [Fm] crosses on [A#m] the right side of [C#] the highway.
[F#] _ Why there's not four of them, [C#] now I guess we [A#] know.
[Fm] _
[C#] It's not what [G#] you take when [A#m] you leave this world [C#] behind you,
[F#] it's what you leave [G#] behind you when you go.
[C#] _ And _ _ there are three [G#] wooden crosses [A#m] on the right [G#] side of the _ highway.
