Three Wooden Crosses video

Three Wooden Crosses By Randy Travis. There seems to be a lot of questions concering the meaning of this song. I've provided an explanation which I found on wikipedia. I think this explains the songs meaning quite well. The song describes a fatal late night bus accident, on a bus traveling from the USA to Mexico. The song describes four passengers, a "farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher" as the song puts it. When the bus crashes, There are memorials to the teacher, the farmer, and the preacher at the roadside- Three Wooden Crosses. The song then recounts how each earned their memorial through their services to the community. At this point in the song the singer questions why there isn't a fourth cross, as a memorial to the prostitute, until it is explained that the preacher, as he was dying, gave his Bible to the prostitute. The song concludes with the revelation that story was told to the singer by the son of the prostitute involved in the crash, who is now a preacher. She survived the crash and brought her son up as a Christian, reading him the Bible given to her by the preacher killed in the crash.
