A CROSS ALONG THE ROAD

He was drive'n home from work one night late as usual
Another 13 hr day and his supper get'n cold
All at once in the road ahead he saw some flash'n lights
And the moments that would follow would forever change his life
The seconds felt like minutes as he tried to lend a hand
Strick'n with emotions that he could not understand
As the ambulance slowly pulled away the silence chilled his soul
Another life symbolized by a cross along the road
CHORUS:
A cross along the road oh it's just nails and wood to some
but when it hits so close to home it's a dream that's come undone
The things that really matter sometimes we just let go
But there is no tomorrow for a cross along the road
Next morn'n found him stand'n back there at the scene
Watch'n two sad people place a cross in memory
Then memories passed like pictures reflections of his life
The times he missed little Jonnies games and the promises to his wife
All at once their faces became ever so clear
And though he recognized them they couldn't see him there
CHORUS:(Repeat)
Tag:
So when your journeys over and time matters no more
What will be remembered by your cross, cross along the road
