歌词
A farmer and a teacher
一个农民和一个教师
A hooker and a preacher
一个妓女和一个传教士
Riding on a midnight bus
坐上了一辆午夜巴士
Bound for Mexico
开往墨西哥
One was heading for vacation
一个是去度假
One for higher education
一个是去深造
And two of them were searching for lost souls
另外两人是去寻找丢失的灵魂
司机没有注意到停车标志
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
大卡车没有来得及刹车
And 18 wheelers can't stop on a dime
高速公路右侧有三个木十字架
为什么没有四个，只有上帝知道
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
我想当你离开这个世界
Why there's not four of them heaven only knows
重要的不是你能带走什么
I guess it's not what you take
而是你留下了什么
When you leave this world behind you
农民留下了一片收获
It's what you leave behind you when you go
一个家庭和八十英亩土地
留下了对生命的信仰和爱
That farmer left a harvest
在他年幼儿子的心中
A home and 80 acres
教师把她的智慧
The faith and love for growing things
留在了很多孩子的脑海中
In his young son's heart
尽力给他们所有人
一个更好的开始
And that teacher left her wisdom
传教士低声说道
In the minds of lots of children
难道你看不到应许之地？
Did her best to give 'em all
当他把血染的圣经
A better start
放在妓女的手里
高速公路右侧有三个木十字架
And that preacher whispered
为什么没有四个，只有上帝知道
"Can't you see the promised land?"
我想当你离开这个世界
As he lay his blood stained Bible
重要的不是你能带走什么
In that hooker's hand
而是你留下了什么
这就是上个礼拜日我们的传教士讲述的故事
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
他拿着那本血迹斑斑的圣经
Why there's not four of them heaven only knows
给我们所有人看
I guess it's not what you take
他说，保佑那位农民
When you leave this world behind you
保佑那位教师
It's what you leave behind you when you go
也保佑那位传教士
是他把这本圣经给了我的母亲
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
那个读给我听的人
As he held that blood stained Bible up
高速公路右侧有三个木十字架
For all of us to see
为什么没有四个，我想此刻我们都知道原因了
He said, "Bless the farmer
当你离开这个世界
And the teacher
重要的不是你能带走什么
And the preacher
而是你留下了什么
Who gave this Bible to my momma
在高速公路右侧有三个木十字架......
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......
