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
