Three Wooden Crosses [The Bootlegger Sessions]

Kim Williams, Doug Johnson

Paroles Traduction

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education
An' two of them were searchin' for lost souls
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
Eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
Guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

That farmer left a harvest, a home on eighty acres
Faith, love of growin' things in his young son's hearts
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
And that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
As he held that blood-stained bible up
For all of us to see
Said, "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' the preacher
Who gave this Bible to my mama who read it to me"

Now there are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
It's what you leave behind you when you go

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
Un fermier et un enseignant, une prostituée et un prédicateur
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
Roulant dans un bus de minuit en direction du Mexique
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education
L'un part en vacances, l'autre pour une éducation supérieure
An' two of them were searchin' for lost souls
Et deux d'entre eux cherchaient des âmes perdues
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
Ce chauffeur n'a jamais vu le panneau stop
Eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime
Les camions à dix-huit roues ne peuvent pas s'arrêter sur une pièce de monnaie
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Il y a trois croix en bois sur le côté droit de l'autoroute
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
Pourquoi il n'y en a pas quatre, seul le ciel le sait
Guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Je suppose que ce n'est pas ce que vous prenez quand vous quittez ce monde derrière vous
It's what you leave behind you when you go
C'est ce que vous laissez derrière vous quand vous partez
That farmer left a harvest, a home on eighty acres
Ce fermier a laissé une récolte, une maison sur quatre-vingts acres
Faith, love of growin' things in his young son's hearts
La foi, l'amour des choses qui poussent dans le cœur de son jeune fils
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Et cette enseignante a laissé sa sagesse dans l'esprit de nombreux enfants
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
Elle a fait de son mieux pour leur donner tous un meilleur départ
And that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
Et ce prédicateur a murmuré, "Ne peux-tu pas voir la Terre Promise ?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand
Alors qu'il posait sa bible tachée de sang dans la main de cette prostituée
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Il y a trois croix en bois sur le côté droit de l'autoroute
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows
Pourquoi il n'y en a pas quatre, seul le ciel le sait
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Je suppose que ce n'est pas ce que vous prenez quand vous quittez ce monde derrière vous
It's what you leave behind you when you go
C'est ce que vous laissez derrière vous quand vous partez
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday
C'est l'histoire que notre prédicateur a racontée dimanche dernier
As he held that blood-stained bible up
Alors qu'il tenait cette bible tachée de sang
For all of us to see
Pour que nous puissions tous la voir
Said, "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' the preacher
Il a dit, "Bénissez le fermier, et l'enseignante, et le prédicateur
Who gave this Bible to my mama who read it to me"
Qui a donné cette Bible à ma maman qui me l'a lue"
Now there are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway
Maintenant, il y a trois croix en bois sur le côté droit de l'autoroute
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know
Pourquoi il n'y en a pas quatre, maintenant je suppose que nous savons
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you
Ce n'est pas ce que vous prenez quand vous quittez ce monde derrière vous
It's what you leave behind you when you go
C'est ce que vous laissez derrière vous quand vous partez
