Another Roadside Cross
Foolish driver crossed the line
Takes out two cars, one is mine
Child dies, driver walks away
Thank God I told you I love you today
Cause now I'm lying here, across this highway line
Guess I'm finally out of time
I pray the Lord my soul to take
And I pray the Lord
That your gentle hearts don't break
Nearby, the mother holds her precious daughter
She's saying the prayers her mother taught her
The rain keeps falling, things fade to black
I hear Father, please give me my baby back
Another roadside cross
Another sweet life lost
Lord have mercy on those left behind
Shattered lives, pain numbs their minds
In the blink of an eye
With no goodbye
That mama's holding her baby tight
Her crying fades as I lose my sight
I feel a whisper in my ear
An angel's come to take me home from here
Now I'm slipping towards eternity
It's just beyond my bended knee
The final blessing I can see
Is that you're safe at home, not lying here
Dying here with me
Another roadside cross
Another sweet life lost
Lord have mercy on those left behind
Shattered lives, pain numbs their minds
In the blink of an eye
With no goodbye
Your faces drift away as I leave this place
Holding on to hope as I pray for grace
I follow the light that's guiding me on
I was here. And now I'm gone
Takes out two cars, one is mine
Child dies, driver walks away
Thank God I told you I love you today
Cause now I'm lying here, across this highway line
Guess I'm finally out of time
I pray the Lord my soul to take
And I pray the Lord
That your gentle hearts don't break
Nearby, the mother holds her precious daughter
She's saying the prayers her mother taught her
The rain keeps falling, things fade to black
I hear Father, please give me my baby back
Another roadside cross
Another sweet life lost
Lord have mercy on those left behind
Shattered lives, pain numbs their minds
In the blink of an eye
With no goodbye
That mama's holding her baby tight
Her crying fades as I lose my sight
I feel a whisper in my ear
An angel's come to take me home from here
Now I'm slipping towards eternity
It's just beyond my bended knee
The final blessing I can see
Is that you're safe at home, not lying here
Dying here with me
Another roadside cross
Another sweet life lost
Lord have mercy on those left behind
Shattered lives, pain numbs their minds
In the blink of an eye
With no goodbye
Your faces drift away as I leave this place
Holding on to hope as I pray for grace
I follow the light that's guiding me on
I was here. And now I'm gone
