Cross On The Highway

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
