Williams Jr., Hank - Cross On The Highway Lyrics
There's a cross on the highway where the tragic wreck occurred
And I lost y two friends taken to a better world
Oh there's stop signs and there's curves
But the one we got to observe
Always bow your head and pray anytime, night or day
Now Derrick Thomas was a champion no one can deny that
He led the Alabama Crimson Tide in all time total sacks
But his heart was even bigger than all his natural skill
He always helped kids in the city and you know what
I think he always will
Now my buddy Mike Tellis was a good man everyone loved him so
He took care of his dear father 'til he too was called to go
How my little girl cried when we all got the dreaded news
She said but Daddy Derrick and Mike will always be with us
I never paid no attention anytime I passed one by
Oh but now I say a prayer because now I know why
There's a cross on the highway where the tragic wreck occurred
And I lost my two good friends taken to a better world
Oh there's stop signs and curves but the one we must observe
Always bow your head and pray anytime night or day
Whenever you see a cross on the highway
I saw it in the morning paper we hear it on the evening news
A mother, a child, a family life sometimes can be mighty cruel
So God help us through these troubled times
And please bless us with peace of mind
There's just a shell there in the grave for the soul has flown away
There's a cross on the highway where the tragic wreck occurred
And I lost my two good friends taken from this mean old world
Oh there's warning signs and curves but the one we must observe
Always bow your head and pray, anytime night or day
Whenever you see a cross on the highway
Always bow your head and pray, anytime night or day
Whenever you see a cross on the highway

Yeah where's those clowns from the media that were accusing him of Junior being racist don't see them here.. that's when you know you're dealing with the liberal it is when they start to feel a little pressure or start to panic they try and just take you out.

the winner What a beautiful song.. Thank you for sharing never have I ever heard this song of Hank and I thought I had listen to all of his songs
glad you enjoyed it Otis. It's from his album Almeria Club. A real stripped down CD not real overproduced at all. Cool you found this tune on here.
Best Album Ever...Love This Man and his Music....Love This Whole Album...
Today is the 18th anniversary of Derrick Thomas death. RIP Roll Tide!

Wow, Brent, this is beautiful and has brought me to tears! A first hearing for me. Thank you!
I don't see grief lessening as time passes.....
when we lost Derrick Thomas that was the saddest day in chiefs history, would have liked the chiefs to dedicate the season to Derrick's memory and maybe a superbowl
this to my brother james white killed at 87 in milton
long live HANK JR
This is one of Hanks I haven't heard beautiful
RIP so many lives lost.
Thank you winner.
Rebecca Jewell I lost a good roommate friend of mine a little over a year ago got hit and run by a car and they never found the ones that hit and run her I put a cross on the side of the road and kept flowers for so long I understand what you're going through
+Rebecca Jewell glad you enjoyed this one Rebecca. Thanks for listening
james. Mann
What a great
tribute to the
NFL HALL OF
FAMER and 9X
Pro Bowler Derrick Thomas, whose
tragic death from complications
stemming from
an automobile
accident in 2002 inspired
Hank, Jr. to write this song.
It really speaks
to what a beautiful heart
and soul the
writer of this
song has. I would like to
think both men
are "children of
GOD." (I do wish
that the song had been sung
in a lower key;
Hank,Jr. had his voice pitched up WAY
too high!)
After you listen to this, listen to :The Grascals(with George Jones) sing- Don't Tell Mama. Then listen to Roy Acuff-Wreck on The Highway. Sad wreck songs.
I lost my best friend who on Home Coming football game after words went to a keg and after leaving that awful night drove off a cliff and now i don’t have her in my life any longer. Plz DON’T DRINK and DRIVE!! I Lv this song, Crosses on the side of the highway means so much to us that have put them there!!! Amen🙏

I never thought much of the crosses on the highway till one was put up for my niece who lost her life in a traggic wreck
@Michael Watley It never gets easier.
Yea I know
I'm sorry to hear that sir
Michael I spent most of my life as a police officer and I carry every death from car accident, murder, suicide and natural death around like a log chain around my neck. I tell you this because the ones who work those tragedies show the up most respect for your loved ones. God Bless you family.
So sorry for your loss Mike
Loved this the first time I heard it,reminds me of a girl I know in high school who died in a wreak on the highway at 16 rip Becky z
RIP D.T great 58
See he sing great gospel,like his Daddy, if that's not Gospel & Love I don't know what is, God Bless u Han
yeah, that is the real Hank, we should all pray at any Cross on the side of the highway, no we should all pray, that's what's He's saying. ot many people would think of him like that, but u should, what a good example.
"Obviously it's not meant to be taken literally, it refers to any manufacturer of dairy products."
