Testo 3 Wooden Crosses Randy Travis
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
And 18-wheelers canât stop on a dime
(Chorus)
There are, three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why thereâs not four of them, heaven only knows
I guess itâs, not what you take, when you leave this world behind you
Itâs what you leave behind you when you go
That farmer left a harvest, a home and 80 acres
The faith and love for growing things, in his young sonâs heart
And that teacher left her wisdom, in the minds of lots of children
And did her best, to give them all a better start
And that preacher whispered canât you see the promise land
As he lay his blood stained Bible in that hookerâs hand
(Chorus)
Thatâs 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, and the preacher
Who gave this Bible to my mama, who read it to me
There are, three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why thereâs not four of them, now I guess we know
Itâs not what you take, when you leave this world behind you
Itâs what you leave behind you when you go
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
