[F]Riding on a midnight bus bound for M[C]exico.


[C]One's headed for vacatio[Em]n, one for [Am]higher education,


[F]And two of them were searching fo[G]r lost souls.


[Dm]That driver never ever saw the stop sign.


[Dm]And eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.


There are thr[C]ee wooden crosses on [Em]the right side of t[Am]he highway,


[F]Why there's not four of them, Heaven only k[C]nows.


               [C]                     [Em] [Am] [C]I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,


[F]It's what you leave behind [G]you when you go.


[C]That farmer left a harvest[Em], a home an[Am]d eighty acres,


[F]                                    [C] [G]The faith and love for growing things in his young son's heart.


[C]                                 [Em]   [Am] [C]And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children:


[F]Did her best to give 'em all a [G]better start.


[Dm]And that preacher whispered "Can't you see the Promised Land?"


[Dm]As he laid his blood stained bible in that hooker's hand.


There are t[C]hree wooden crosses on [Em]the right side of th[Am]e highway,


[F]Why there's not four of them, Heaven only kno[C]ws.


[C]                                   [Em] [Am] [C]I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,


[F]It's what you leave behind [G]you when you go.


That's the st[Am]ory that our preach[G]er told last Sunday.


As he [C]held that blood-stained bible up, For all of us to [G]see.


He said, "Bless the farmer,[Am] and the teacher, a[G]nd the preacher,


Who gave this Bible[Dm] to my mamma...   Who read it to me[G]."


There are [C]three wooden crosses on[Em] the right side of [Am]the highway,


[F]Why there's not four of them, now I guess we [C]know.


[C]It's not what you take when [Em]you leave this w[Am]orld behind you,


[F]It's what you leave behind you wh[G]en you go.


           [C]                       [Em]  [Am] [C]There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway...
