[Ab] [N] Here to sing the song that won him a Dove and a CMA Award, the Song of the Year back in [Db] 2003, here's Randy [Ab] singing Three Wooden Crosses.
[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] the two [Ab] of them were searching [Db] for lost souls.
[Ebm] That driver never ever [Ab] saw the stop sign, [Ebm] that eighteen wheelers can't stop [Ab] on the dime.
There [Db] are three [Ab] wooden crosses [Bbm] on the right side of the highway, [Gb] while there's not four [Db] of them, heaven [Ab] only knows.
But [Db] guess 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.
That farmer left to [Ab] harvest [Bbm] a home in 80 acres, [Gb] that painter loved to grow him [Db] things in his [Ab] young son's heart.
[Db] That teacher left her [Ab] wisdom [Bbm] in the minds of lots of [Ab] children [Gb] to [Ab] give them all a [Db] better start.
[Ebm] That preacher whispered, can't you [Ab] see the promised land, as he [Ebm] laid his bloodstained Bible in that [Ab] poor person's hand.
[Db] There are three [Cm] wooden crosses [Bbm] on the right side [Ab] of the highway, [Gb] while there's not four of [Db] them, heaven [Ab] only knows.
But [Db] guess 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.
[Bbm] That's a story [Db] that our preacher [Gb] told last Sunday, [Db] as he held that bloodstained Bible up [Ab] for all of us to see.
He said, [Bbm] bless the farmer [Ab] and the teacher [Gb] and that preacher who [Ebm] gave this Bible to my mama, [Ab] who read it to [Db] me.
