three wooden crosses
A farmer and a teacher
一個農民和一個教師
A hooker and a preacher
一個妓女和一個傳教士
Riding on a midnight bus
坐上了一輛午夜巴士
Bound for Mexico
開往墨西哥
One was heading for vacation
一個是去度假
One for higher education
一個是去深造
And two of them were searching for lost souls
另外兩人是去尋找丟失的靈魂
司機沒有註意到停車標誌
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
大卡車沒有來得及剎車
And 18 wheelers cant stop on a dime
高速公路右側有三個木十字架
為什麼沒有四個，只有上帝知道
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
我想當你離開這個世界
Why theres not four of them heaven only knows
重要的不是你能帶走什麼
I guess its not what you take
而是你留下了什麼
When you leave this world behind you
農民留下了一片收穫
Its what you leave behind you when you go
一個家庭和八十英畝土地
留下了對生命的信仰和愛
That farmer left a harvest
在他年幼兒子的心中
A home and 80 acres
教師把她的智慧
The faith and love for growing things
留在了很多孩子的腦海中
In his young sons heart
盡力給他們所有人
一個更好的開始
And that teacher left her wisdom
傳教士低聲說道
In the minds of lots of children
難道你看不到應許之地？
Did her best to give em all
當他把血染的聖經
A better start
放在妓女的手裡
高速公路右側有三個木十字架
And that preacher whispered
為什麼沒有四個，只有上帝知道
'Cant you see the promised land?'
我想當你離開這個世界
As he lay his blood stained Bible
重要的不是你能帶走什麼
In that hookers hand
而是你留下了什麼
這就是上個禮拜日我們的傳教士講述的故事
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
他拿著那本血跡斑斑的聖經
Why theres not four of them heaven only knows
給我們所有人看
I guess its not what you take
他說，保佑那位農民
When you leave this world behind you
保佑那位教師
Its what you leave behind you when you go
也保佑那位傳教士
是他把這本聖經給了我的母親
Thats the story that our preacher told last Sunday
那個讀給我聽的人
As he held that blood stained Bible up
高速公路右側有三個木十字架
For all of us to see
為什麼沒有四個，我想此刻我們都知道原因了
He said, 'Bless the farmer
當你離開這個世界
And the teacher
重要的不是你能帶走什麼
And the preacher
而是你留下了什麼
Who gave this Bible to my momma
在高速公路右側有三個木十字架......
Who read it to me'
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why theres not four of them now I guess we know
Its not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
Its what you leave behind you when you go
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway......
