Cross On The Highway - Hank Williams Jr.
There's a cross on the highway where the tragic wreck occurred And I lost y two friends taken to a better world Oh there's stop signs and there's curves But the one we got to observe Always bow your head and pray anytime, night or day Whenever you see a cross on the side of the highway Now Derrick Thomas was a champion no one can deny that He led the Alabama Crimson Tide in all time total sacks But his heart was even bigger than all his natural skill He always helped kids in the city and you know what I think he always will Now my buddy Mike Tellis was a good man everyone loved him so He took care of his dear father 'til he too was called to go How my little girl cried when we all got the dreaded news She said but Daddy Derrick and Mike will always be with us Don't children always tell the truth I never paid no attention anytime I passed one by Oh but now I say a prayer because now I know why There's a cross on the highway where the tragic wreck occurred And I lost my two good friends taken to a better world Oh there's stop signs and curves but the one we must observe Always bow your head and pray anytime night or day Whenever you see a cross on the highway I saw it in the morning paper we hear it on the evening news A mother, a child, a family life sometimes can be mighty cruel So God help us through these troubled times And please bless us with peace of mind There's just a shell there in the grave for the soul has flown away There's a cross on the highway where the tragic wreck occurred And I lost my two good friends taken from this mean old world Oh there's warning signs and curves but the one we must observe Always bow your head and pray, anytime night or day Whenever you see a cross on the highway Always bow your head and pray, anytime night or day Whenever you see a cross on the highway
