Three Wooden Crosses - Randy Travis

[Intro]
[C] [Am]

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

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