[Verse 1]
C                                   Am
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
F                                   C                      G
ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
C                                          Am
One was headed for vacation, one for higher education
F                                 G                  C
and two of them were searchin' for lost souls

[Pre-chorus 1]
Dm                                   G
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
Dm                                                      G
and eighteen-wheelers can't stop on a dime

[Chorus]
C
There are three wooden crosses,
Am
on the right side of the highway
F                                         C                   G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
C
I guess it's, not what you take
Am
when you leave this world behind you
F                                G                   C
It's what you leave behind you when you go

[Verse 2]
C                                  Am
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
F
the faith and love for growin' things
C                                   G
in his young sons heart
C
And that teacher left her wisdom
Am
in the minds of lots of children
F                                   G               C  
Did her best to give'em all a better start

[Pre-chorus]
Dm
And that preacher whispered,
G
"Can't you see that promised land?"
Dm
as he laid his blood-stained bible
G
in that hookers hand

[Chorus]
C
There are three wooden crosses
Am
on the right side of the highway
F                                    C                     G
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
C
I guess it's, not what you take
Am
when you leave this world behind you
F                                 G           C
it's what you leave behind you when you go

[Bridge]
Am                             G                      F
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday,
C
as he held that blood-stained bible up
G
for all of us to see
                          Am
He said, bless the farmer, and the teacher,
F
and that preacher
F                       Dm                              G
Who gave this Bible to my Momma, who read it to me

[Chorus]
C
There are three wooden crosses
Am
on the right side of the highway
F                                          C             G
why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
C
It's not what you take,
Am
when you leave this world behind you,
F                                 G            C
It's what you leave behind you when you go

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