I was talking to a friend Who said he saw a trailer full of crosses Piled high and painted white It was hooked up to a tractor Like maybe they were moving some old graveyard It was a wide wide day I thought of all the hope and love and dreams And grief and promises and heartache That you can pile on a trailer And leave it in the wind to dry Beneath the sun that cuts the sky hard Through a wide wide day So I was thinking about this girl I met One time whose eyes were gray and lifeless questions Like she'd forgotten things She used to know She said I grew up down in Tennessee My daddy had his hair cut just like Elvis He was a preacher at the corner church And every Sunday morning took his sermons From the bottom of a bottle He had an eye for the ladies Desert moons and motel rooms Magazines and movie queens and hey Ain't this a wide wide day And do you remember When we drove down to the rivers edge I swore to you that we would never die And we let our headlights shine across toward Mexico And talked about Jesus And all the while the river flowed Across the valley thunder rolled The truth we tell the lies we feel The love we give the love we steal I'm still waiting Hey hey the river winds And still I find I'm thinking about those crosses Piled high and painted white The ground is hard the holes been dug Over and over and over and over and over It makes me want to take my boy And hold him hard and tell him that I know This world is gonna learn to love There's a place the river winds and silver turquoise shines Through a wide wide day And do you remember When we drove down to the rivers edge I swore to you that we would never die And we let our headlights shine across toward Mexico And talked about Jesus
