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