Three Crosses on the Dash

Three Crosses On The Dash Verse 1 There’s a coffee stain on this old log book Couple worn-out pages and a second look At the miles I’ve run and the roads I’ve known Chasing daylight just to make it home That old Pete shakes when the cold wind blows Through Alabama down Tennessee roads And hanging there above those gauges cracked Are three little crosses on the dash Chorus Three crosses on the dash Riding with me through the good and bad Through broke-down nights and barely getting by Through answered prayers and tears I couldn’t hide When the load gets heavy and the road gets long Somehow they keep me holding on Every mile I roll, every road I pass I thank God for those three crosses on the dash Verse 2 Daddy used to sing in a country church About dusty roads and knowing your worth Said faith ain’t loud, it’s steady and true It’s what carries a man when he’s all wore through I still hear those songs somewhere in my mind Around midnight crossing county lines And when the world feels like it’s moving too fast I look up at those crosses on the dash Chorus Three crosses on the dash Riding with me through the good and bad Through broke-down nights and barely getting by Through answered prayers and tears I couldn’t hide When the load gets heavy and the road gets long Somehow they keep me holding on Every mile I roll, every road I pass I thank God for those three crosses on the dash Bridge I’ve seen blue lights in the rearview glow Empty bank accounts and ice and snow Seen good men leave and hard times hit But grace somehow keeps showing up in it And every sunrise breaking through the glass Falls right across those crosses on the dash Final Chorus Three crosses on the dash Riding with me through the good and bad Through all these years and all these worn-out maps God’s been riding with me mile after mile like that When my time comes and I finally rest I hope I ran this road my best Till then I’ll keep rolling while the good Lord asks With three little crosses on the dash
