Well, I've heard those city singers Singing 'bout how they can love Deeper than the oceans Higher than the stars above But I come from the country And I know I ain't seen it all But I heard that ocean's salty And the stars, they sometimes fall And that would not do justice To the way I feel for you So I had to sing this song About all the things I knew My love is deeper than the holler Stronger than the river Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill My love is purer than the snowflakes That fall in late December And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill And longer than the song of a whippoorwill From the back roads to the Broadway shows With a million miles between There's at least a million love songs That people love to sing And every one is different And every one's the same And this is just another way Of saying the same thing My love is deeper than the holler Stronger than the river Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill My love is purer than the snowflakes That fall in late December And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill And longer than the song of a whippoorwill My love is deeper than the holler Stronger than the river Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill My love is purer than the snowflakes That fall in late December And honest as a Robin on a springtime window sill And longer than the song of a whippoorwill A whippoorwill
Last night, I dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn Yeah, I've been sittin' alone, diggin' up bones Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) Exhumin' things that's better left alone I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones And I went through the closet and I found some things in there Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to wear And I recall how good you looked each time you had it on Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) Exhumin' things that's better left alone I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) Exhumin' things that's better left alone I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones) Exhumin' things that's better left alone I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico One was headed for vacation, one for higher education And two of them were searchin' for lost souls That driver never ever saw the stop sign An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you It's what you leave behind you when you go That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children Did her best to give 'em all a better start An' that preacher whispered (Can't you see the Promised Land?) As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there's not four of them Heaven only knows I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you It's what you leave behind you when you go That's a story that our preacher told last Sunday As he held that blood-stained bible up For all of us to see He said (Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' that preacher) Who gave this Bible to my mamma (Who read it to me) There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you It's what you leave behind you when you go There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway...
