Lyrics
========================================================================

A farmer and a teacher
a hooker and a preacher
ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One was 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 sons 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 bloodstained bible
in that hookers hand

Chorus

That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday,
as he held that bloodstained bible up
for all of us to see
He said, bless the farmer, and the teacher,
and that preacher
Who gave this Bible to my Momma, Who read it to me

Chorus
