[Ab]
[Bbm] [Db] A farmer and a teacher, [Bbm] a looker and a preacher
[Gb] Riding on a midnight bus bound for [Ab] Mexico
[Db] One was headed for vacation, [Bbm] one for higher education
[Gb] Until you and [Ab] them were searching [Db] for lost souls
[Ebm] That driver never ever [Ab] saw the stop sign
[Ebm] Eighteen wheelers can't stop [Ab] on a dime
[Db] There are three [Ab] wooden crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Fm] of the highway
[Gb] Why there's not four of [Db] them, heaven [Ab] only knows
[Db] Guess it's not what you take [Bbm] when you leave this [Db] world behind [Gb] you
It's what you [Ab] leave behind you [Db] when you go
A farmer left a harvest [Bbm] on eight acres
[Gb] Faith, love of growing [Db] things in his [Ab] young son's heart
[Db] And that teacher left her wisdom [Bbm] in the minds of lost children
[Gb] Did her best to [Ab] give them all a [Db] better start
[Ebm] And that preacher whispered, can't you [Ab] see the promised land
As he [Ebm] laid his bloodstained Bible in that [Ab] hooker's hand
[Db] There are three wooden crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Db] of the highway
[Gb] Why there's not four of [Db] them, heaven [Ab] only knows
[Db] Guess it's not [Ab] what you take [Bbm] when you leave this [Ab] world behind you
[Gb] It's what you [Ab] leave behind you [Db] when you go
[Bbm] That's the story [Db] that our preacher told [Gb] last Sunday
He [Db] held that bloodstained Bible [Ab] up for all of us to see
So [Bbm] bless the farmer [Db] and the teacher [Gb] and that preacher
Who [Ebm] gave this Bible to my mama [Ab] who read it to me
There [Db] are three [Bb] wooden crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Db] of the highway
[Gb] Why there's not four of [Db] them, now I [Ab] guess we know
