Lyrics
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education
And two of them were searchin' for lost souls
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
And eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
The faith and love for growin' things in his young son's heart
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
And that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
As he held that blood-stained bible up
For all of us to see
He said "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, and the preacher
Who gave this Bible to my mama
Who read it to me"
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

God can always turn around something bad for good. Those three crosses are a witness to God’s amazing Grace. I had a Japanese trainer who came over to U.S. to train us. He asked what do the three crosses mean? Those crosses he asked about were those of Calvary. I was able to share the gospel with him. Many have come to the cross of Calvary and found salvation.

His distinctive vocals and amazing songs have stuck with me and many other fans for many years. My dad wore out his Randy Travis cassettes on our drives from Virginia to North Carolina when we would go visit my grandparents and his songs more than any other artist have grabbed my soul and stay with me. A true legend.

I ended up finding myself literally in the gutter across the street from a catholic church and a man who was walking with his wife and 2 kids to sunday mass put his hand out and said "let me help you up bud, there's someone i know who can help you" and that day at mass did more for me than 6 years of therapy and meds ever did! to this day i cant think of the man and his family without hearing this song

The brilliant edit of this video, capturing facial expressions, emotions and tenderness, not only brings the words and meaning to real life, but reminds us of the fragility of what God has given to all of us - life and what we do with it.
