[00:12.52]A farmer and a teacher  a hooker and a preacher 
[00:18.59]Ridin   on a midnight bus bound for Mexico 
[00:24.42]One  s headed for vacation  one for higher education 
[00:30.65]An   two of them were searchin   for lost souls 
[00:36.56]That driver never ever saw the stop sign 
[00:42.85]An   eighteen wheelers can  t stop on a dime 
[00:48.31]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway 
[00:55.49]Why there  s not four of them   
[00:58.09]Heaven only knows 
[01:00.36]I guess it  s not what you take  
[01:03.44]when you leave this world behind you 
[01:07.07]It  s what you leave behind you when you go 
[01:13.03]That farmer left a harvest   
[01:16.19]a home and eighty acres 
[01:19.36]The faith an   love for growin   things in his young son  s heart 
[01:24.94]An   that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children 
[01:31.14]Did her best to give   em all a better start 
[01:37.20]An   that preacher whispered   
[01:38.97]Can  t you see the Promised Land  
[01:42.64]As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker  s hand 
[01:49.04]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway 
[01:56.23]Why there  s not four of them   
[01:58.86]Heaven only knows 
[02:01.04]I guess it  s not what you take  
[02:04.25]when you leave this world behind you 
[02:07.83]It  s what you leave behind you when you go 
[02:13.74]That  s the story that our preacher told last Sunday

[02:25.08]He said   Bless the farmer  and the teacher  an   the preacher 
[02:31.45]Who gave this Bible to my mamma  who read it to me 
[02:40.66]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway 
[02:47.85]Why there  s not four of them  now I guess we know 
[02:53.84]It  s not what you take when you leave this world behind you 
[02:59.40]It  s what you leave behind you when you go
