[C#]
[A#m] [C#]
A farmer and a teacher, [G#] [A#m] a hooker and [C#] a preacher, riding [F#] on a midnight bus [C#] bound for [G#] Mexico.
[C#] One was headed for vacation, [G#] [A#m] one for higher education, [F#] and two of them were [G#] searching for [C#] lost souls.
[G#m] That driver [D#m] never ever saw [G#] the stop sign, [D#m] and eighteen wheelers can't stop on a [C#] dime.
There [C#] are three [Fm] wooden crosses on [C#] the right side of the highway.
I guess [C#] it's not what [Fm] you take when [A#m] you leave this world [C#] behind you.
That farmer left a [G#] harvest, [A#m] a home and eighty acres,

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