Three Wooden Crosses Randy Travis
Key of D (NO CAPO)
[Verse 1]
A[D] farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
[G]Riding on a midnight bus b[D]ound for Me[A]xico
One was[D] headed for vacation, one for h[B]igher education
And t[G]wo of them were se[A]archin' for a lost s[D]ouls
That[G] driver never ever saw th[A]e stop sign
And [G]eighteen wheelers can't stop on a d[A]ime??..There are
[Cborus]
[D]Three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[G]Why there's not four of them, he[D]aven only kn[A]ows
I guess it's[D] not what you take when you[B] leave this world behind you
It's [G]what you leave beh[A]ind you when you [D]go
[Verse 2]
That[D] farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
A f[G]aith and love for growin' things [D]in his young son's h[A]eart
And that t[D]eacher left her wisdom in the [B]mind's of lots of children
And did her [G]best to give em' a[A]ll a better s[D]tart
And that p[G]reacher whispered, "can't you see the [A]promised land?"
As he lay his [G]bloodstained bible in that hooker's [A]hand???There are
[Cborus]
[D]Three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[G]Why there's not four of them, he[D]aven only kn[A]ows
I guess it's[D] not what you take when you[B] leave this world behind you
It's [G]what you leave beh[A]ind you when you [D]go
[Verse 3]
That's the [B]story that our p[A]reacher told last S[G]unday
As he h[D]eld that bloodstained bible up for a[A]ll of us to see
He said, "bless the [B]farmer and the [A]teacher and the [G]preacher"
Who gave this [G]bible to my mama, who [A]read it to me???..There are
[Cborus]
[D]Three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
[G]Why there's not four of them, he[D]aven only kn[A]ows
I guess it's[D] not what you take when you[B] leave this world behind you
It's [G]what you leave beh[A]ind you when you [D]go
[Outro]
There are,[D] three wooden crosses on the [B]right side of the highw[D]ay
