Cross On The Highway

HANK JR. WILLIAMS

There's a cross on the highway
Where the tragic wreck occurred
And I lost 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

Always bow your head and pray
Anytime night or day
Whenever you see a cross on the highway
