letra de three woden crosses - dakota pittle

Loading...

a farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
riding on a midnight bus bound for mexico
one was headed for vacation, one for higher education
and two of them were searching for lost souls
that driver never ever saw the stop sign
and eighteen wheelers can’t stop on a dime

[chorus]
there are three wooden crosses
on the right side of the highway
why there’s not four of them, heaven only knows
i guess it’s not what you take
when you leave this world behind you
it’s what you leave behind you when you go

[verse 2]
that farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
the faith and love for growing things in his young son’s heart
and that teacher left her wisdom
in the minds of lots of children:
did her best to give ’em all a better start
and that preacher whispered:
“can’t you see the promised land?”
as he laid his blood-stained bible
in that hooker’s hand

[chorus]
there are three wooden crosses
on the right side of the highway
why there’s not four of them, heaven only knows
i guess it’s not what you take
when you leave this world behind you
it’s what you leave behind you when you go

[bridge]
that’s the story that our preacher told last sunday
as he held that blood-stained bible up
for all of us to see
he said: “bless the farmer, and the teacher, an’ the preacher;
who gave this bible to my mamma
who read it to me.”

[chorus]
there are three wooden crosses
on the right side of the highway
why there’s not four of them, now i guess we know
it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you
it’s what you leave behind you when you go

[outro]
there are three wooden crosses
on the right side of the highway
