[Intro]
C   Em7   Am   Am7
 
[Verse 1]
C                     Em7   Am                    Am7
A farmer and a teacher,   a hooker and a preacher
F                        C             G
ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
        C                  Em7       Am               Am7
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
    F                G                  C
and two of them were searchin' for lost souls
     Dm                         G
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
    Dm                                Gsus   G
and eighteen-wheelers can't stop on a dime
 
[Chorus]
          C            Em7
There are three wooden crosses
       Am                Am7
on the right side of the highway
F                             C           G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
            C              Em7
I guess it's, not what you take
         Am                Am7
when you leave this world behind you
     F                G                 C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
 
[Verse 2]
C                         Em7   Am                    Am7
That farmer left a harvest,   a home and eighty acres
    F
the faith and love for growin' things
C                  G
in his young son's heart
         C                      Em7
And that teacher left her wisdom
       Am                        Am7
in the minds of lots of children
F                        G            C
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
         Dm
And that preacher whispered,
                    G
"Can't you see that promised land?"
      Dm
as he laid his bloodstained Bible
        Gsus     G
in that hooker's hand
 
[Chorus]
          C            Em7
There are three wooden crosses
       Am                Am7
on the right side of the highway
F                             C           G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
             C             Em7
I guess it's, not what you take
         Am                Am7
when you leave this world behind you
     F                G                 C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
 
[Bridge]
           Am             Am7                F
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday,
      C
as he held that bloodstained Bible up
    G
for all of us to see
         Am                Am7
He said, bless the farmer, and the teacher,
F                 Fmaj7
and that preacher
    Dm                               Gsus       G  Gsus  G
who gave this Bible to my momma, who read it to me
 
[Chorus]
          C            Em7
There are three wooden crosses
       Am                Am7
on the right side of the highway
F                             C              G
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
C                 Em7
It's not what you take,
         Am                 Am7
when you leave this world behind you
     F                G                 C
It's what you leave behind you when you go
 
[Outro]
C                      Em7
There are three wooden crosses
       Am         Am7    C
on the right side of the highway
