lyrics

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.

Live on Earth (2020 remaster)
by Sergeant Thunderhoof

supported by 4 fans who also own “Roadside Cross - Acoustic Version”

A great live capture of a band that exemplifies the best of stoner, doom, and psychedelic rock in the current age: all in one package. Picking a favourite song is hard because each song succeeds in nominating itself. I lean toward Enter the Zigurat, though. The production and mix are studio quality. Very clear & balanced. The band sound great live, too. Long jams to get lost in; great guitar, great vocals. Each instrument complements the others. No overshadowing. Thanks, ST! 8.5+/10. Alrihkh

Progressive doom metal with a bluesy edge to their fuzzy guitar grooves! A psychedelic presence is also there, this time without the saxophone.....There’s also some good old Rock ‘n’ Roll ! Stephan
