Generate meaning
1
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
2
Riding on a midnight bus, bound for Mexico
3
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
4
And two of them were searching for lost souls
5
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
6
And 18-wheelers can't stop on a dime
7
(Chorus)
8
There are, three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
9
Why there's not four of them, heaven only knows
10
I guess it's, not what you take, when you leave this world behind you
11
It's what you leave behind you when you go
12
That farmer left a harvest, a home and 80 acres
13
The faith and love for growing things, in his young son's heart
14
And that teacher left her wisdom, in the minds of lots of children
15
And did her best, to give them all a better start
16
And that preacher whispered can't you see the promise land
17
As he lay his blood stained Bible in that hooker's hand
18
(Chorus)
19
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
20
As he held that blood stained Bible up, for all of us to see
21
He said bless the farmer, and the teacher, and the preacher
22
Who gave this Bible to my mama, who read it to me
23
There are, three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
24
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
25
It's not what you take, when you leave this world behind you
26
It's what you leave behind you when you go
27
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
