39 Crosses
Drivin’ out of Dallas
Southbound I-45
I start to count the crosses
Along the roadside
Testimonials to lost lives
Markers set up where they died
..and I got 39 more crosses more to go
(Chorus):
39 more crosses and I’ll be home my friends
39 more reasons to see you once again
Countin’ on the friends I know
While white freight liners lead me home
Just 39 more crosses down the road
My friend said the chip on my shoulder
Is bigger than my ego
But it’s not hard to reason
That ain’t really true
However far I travel
I can’t escape my skin
..so I’ll just count those roadside crosses once again
(Chorus): (Solo):
Summers gone and the fall has fell
And winters on the way
These crosses on the roadside
Keep growing every day
And sometimes it’s so easy
To think I’m all alone
..but I’m just 39 more crosses away from home
(Chorus
