. . . A farmer and a teacher
a hooker and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus

bound for Mexico
One was headed

for vacation

one for higher education

And two of them were
searchin' for lost souls

That driver never ever

saw the stop sign

And eighteen wheelers
can't stop on a dime
There are three
wooden crosses on the

right side of the highway
you when you go

That farmer left a harvest

a home and eighty acres

The faith and love
a better start

And that preacher

whispered can't you see

the Promised Land
As he lay his

blood-stained bible
in that hooker's hand

There are three
wooden crosses on the

right side of the highway

Why there's not

four of them
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 there's not

four of them
It's what you leave behind

you when you go
There are three

wooden crosses on the
right side of the highway
