| 1 | A farmer and a teacher | A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher, | 1 | |||||||||||
| 2 | A hooker and a preacher | ridin' on a midnight bus bound from Mexico. One | 2 | |||||||||||
| 3 | Riding on a midnight bus | was headed for vacation, one for higher education, | 3 | |||||||||||
| 4 | Bound for Mexico | and two of them were searchin' for lost souls. | 4 | |||||||||||
| 1 | That driver never ever saw the stop sign. And | 1 | ||||||||||||
| 2 | eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime. [Chorus] | 2 | ||||||||||||
| 3 | There are three wooden crosses on the right side | 3 | ||||||||||||
| 4 | of the highway, why there's not four of them, | 4 | ||||||||||||
| 5 | Heaven only knows. I guess it's not what you take | 5 | ||||||||||||
| 6 | when you leave this world behind you, it's what | 6 | ||||||||||||
| 7 | you leave behind you when you go. | 7 | ||||||||||||
| 8 | 8 | |||||||||||||
| 9 | That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty | 9 | ||||||||||||
| 10 | acres, the faith and love for growin' things in | 10 | ||||||||||||
| 11 | his young son's heart. And that teacher left her | 11 | ||||||||||||
| 12 | wisdom in the the minds of lots of children, and | 12 | ||||||||||||
| 13 | did her best to give 'em all a better start. And | 13 | ||||||||||||
| 14 | that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the | 14 | ||||||||||||
| 15 | promise land?" As he laid his blood-stain bible in | 15 | ||||||||||||
| 16 | that hooker's hand. | 16 | ||||||||||||
| 17 | 17 | |||||||||||||
| 18 | [Chorus] | 18 | ||||||||||||

| 20 | That's the story that our preacher told last | 20 | ||||||||||||
| 21 | Sunday, as he held that blood-stain bible up, for | 21 | ||||||||||||
| 22 | all of us to see. He said, "Bless the farmer, and | 22 | ||||||||||||
| 23 | the teacher, and the preacher; who gave this bible | 23 | ||||||||||||
| 24 | to my mama, who read it to me." | 24 | ||||||||||||
| 25 | 25 | |||||||||||||
| 26 | There are three wooden crosses on the right side | 26 | ||||||||||||
| 27 | of the highway, why there's not four of them, now | 27 | ||||||||||||
| 28 | I guess we know. It's not what you take when you | 28 | ||||||||||||
| 29 | leave this world behind you, it's what you leave | 29 | ||||||||||||
| 30 | behind you when you go. | 30 | ||||||||||||
