VERSE 1 hey you white cross on the highway won't you tell me what happened to you? did you fall asleep at the wheel my friend? or lost control when your tyre blew? oh i wish you could tell me your story i hope old death was kind to you oh white cross there on the highway this one goes out to you VERSE 2 oh white cross there by the road side i wish i could have warned you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel and saved you from the twisted steel or did you die by the hands of another a reckless trucker or a drunken fool white cross out there by the road side i wish i could have warned you CHORUS Just two lengths of pine, crossed and tied all covered in white you have long passed on but your memory lives on as a warning sign to all drivers out there tonight keep your eyes on the road take it slow and get home alive, all right. VERSE 3 well i pull over for the night because i'm tried i don't wanna end up like you but then again I ain't got no friend to make a cross like they did for you and as the sun sets over my camp fire you enter my mind once more yeah you white cross on the highway all alone on that long dark road CHORUS Just two lengths of pine, crossed and tied all covered in white you have long passed on but your memory lives on as a warning sign to all drivers out there tonight keep your eyes on the road take it slow and get home alive, all right.

feel the cool breeze, laying in the sun baby with me, laying in the sun laying in the sun cat fish swimming, laying in the sun bull frogs singing, laying in the sun laying in the sun willows weeping, laying in the sun dreamin' day dreams, laying in the sun laying in the sun

a burden so bad she was bound to break but don't worry little baby cause I can take a heavy load away rest a worried head on the bed that you made you better bite your tongue 'cause it will hurt to take this poor heavy load away wrap it up gently, in rag and tie it in place we'll lower it down, the old dry well, where secret's keep safe and every night it's calling you down hush little baby, oh don't make a sound the thunder clouds and rain begin to clear away don't let it even cross your mind on your wedding day heavy load away heavy load away
