ROADSIDE CROSSES ​​​​​​Lee Baxter​​​​​​​​​​​ 3rd Fret Capo

G
You can see them in the distance from behind your steering wheel
They can pop up out of nowhere and they make you want to feel

​ C​​​​​​​​​G
Like you really want to know them, but all you do is say a little prayer
Some are young, some are old, others in-between
I guess we’ll never know the reason why they never got to live their dreams

C
There’s ones that we may never pass again​
​​​​​​​​​G
But I know we’ll see a few before our times end down here

G Em
Roadside crosses I wonder who they were
G Em
Roadside crosses was it him or was it her
C
But I know they’ll still keep driving on
​​​​​​​G
down another highway where they belong up there

G
Some are decorated, others just plain bare
Some you can see that photograph of the life that wasn’t spared
C​​​​​​​​​​ G
We look and turn away again, we touch the brake before the bend appears

G Em
Roadside crosses I wonder who they were
G Em
Roadside crosses was it him or was it her
C
But I know they’ll still keep driving on
​​​​​​​G
down another highway where they belong up there

Am C
Was it a rainy night or was it that drunken driver


Am​​​ C
Whatever the circumstance there were no survivors

G Em
Roadside crosses I wonder who they were

G Em
Roadside crosses what it him or was it her
C
Was it just a baby child, robbed of its sweet smile

G Em

G Em
Roadside crosses lets you know that life ain’t fair

C
But I know they’ll still keep driving on down another highway

where they belong up there

But I know they’ll still keep driving on down another highway

where they belong up there

But I know they’ll still keep driving on …up there
