“By The Side Of The Road”
© Townley, Miller, Parker, Curry
(v1)
Thanks for the heart shaped wreath you hung on me this morning
In mem’ry of the one that you lost here
Your kids are growing up and getting taller
Must be tough to visit on this day every year
Still feel the tears from when you nailed me together
With wood from the porch swing fix you didn’t get to
Keep hoping every car that passes
Will understand me the way you do
(Chorus)
They drive fast, pass me by, too much on their mind
To see me screaming at them from the ground
Life is short, every breath, is a treasure that you get
In a second you could wish that you’d slowed down
I should know I’m the cross by the side of the road
(v2)
Been through a lot since the last time you brought flowers
Some strangers stopped by and said a prayer
That snow nearly buried me last winter
If I was gone nobody else would care
(Chorus)
They drive fast, pass me by, too much on their mind
To see me screaming at them from the ground
Life is short, every breath, is a treasure that you get
In a second you could wish that you’d slowed down
I should know I’m the cross by the side of the road
Hope you never have to know a white cross by the side of the road
