Crosses
Ooooooo
On a two lane in southeast Texas
The only curve in the road for miles
She was standing in the bluebonnets out in the sun
And she'd been there for quite a while
Folks would stop and offer her a ride into town
But I don't think you could get her to go
She's fighting back tears and praying to God
For the crosses on the side of the road
They stand for those who gave
And for better days
They stand for love so pure
And hope that will endure
They're more than crosses
On the side of the road
They're more than crosses
On a windblown hill out in Normandy
With a view of that now famous mile
He was standing in his uniform out in the sun
And he'd been there for quite a while
He remembers that day back in '44
His best friends the first ones to go
He's fighting back tears and praying to God
For the crosses standing all in a row
They stand for those who gave
And for better days
They stand for love so pure
And hope that will endure
They're more than crosses
Standing all in a row
They're more than crosses
We still a wreath in their memory
On their birthdays and round Christmas time
We're doing our best to try to move on
But we're just not the forgetting kind
They stand for those who gave
And for better days
They stand for love so pure
And hope that will endure
They stand for honesty
And for you and me
They stand for memories
And the One who set us free
They're more than crosses
On the side of the road
They're ore than crosses
Standing all in a row
They're more than crosses
On a two lane in southeast Texas
The only curve in the road for miles
She was standing in the bluebonnets out in the sun
And she'd been there for quite a while
Folks would stop and offer her a ride into town
But I don't think you could get her to go
She's fighting back tears and praying to God
For the crosses on the side of the road
They stand for those who gave
And for better days
They stand for love so pure
And hope that will endure
They're more than crosses
On the side of the road
They're more than crosses
On a windblown hill out in Normandy
With a view of that now famous mile
He was standing in his uniform out in the sun
And he'd been there for quite a while
He remembers that day back in '44
His best friends the first ones to go
He's fighting back tears and praying to God
For the crosses standing all in a row
They stand for those who gave
And for better days
They stand for love so pure
And hope that will endure
They're more than crosses
Standing all in a row
They're more than crosses
We still a wreath in their memory
On their birthdays and round Christmas time
We're doing our best to try to move on
But we're just not the forgetting kind
They stand for those who gave
And for better days
They stand for love so pure
And hope that will endure
They stand for honesty
And for you and me
They stand for memories
And the One who set us free
They're more than crosses
On the side of the road
They're ore than crosses
Standing all in a row
They're more than crosses
