LITTLE WHITE CROSS OUT ON HIGHWAY 13 (Don Rigsby)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: MOUNTAINS SURROUND US
NATURE ASTOUNDS US
GOD IN HIS GLORY
CREATED THIS CHARM
STILL ALL THE PRAYERS
THAT WE SEND UP TO HEAVEN
DON'T ALWAYS SHELTER
OUR LOVED ONES FROM HARM

CHORUS: LITTLE WHITE CROSS OUT ON HIGHWAY 13
MARKING THE END OF OUR BABY GIRL'S DREAM
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, TERRIBLE SCENE
LITTLE WHITE CROSS OUT ON HIGHWAY 13

VERSE 2: HER GRADUATION
AND HER CELEBRATION
PLANNED FOR THAT FRIDAY NIGHT
DOWN AT THE SCHOOL
SO YOUNG AND SO PRETTY
FOLKS CALLED IT A PITY
KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY
BY SOME DRUNKEN FOOL

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: A FEW PLASTIC ROSES
LIE CLOSE TO THE HIGHWAY
GATHERING DUST
ON THE LITTLE WHITE CROSS
WHY DID WE PLACE IT
IT HELPS US TO TAKE IT
TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD
OUR MOST TERRIBLE LOSS

VERSE 4: THE CURTAINS ARE CLOSED
IN HER ROOM DOWN THE HALLWAY
CHEERLEADER PICTURES
WHERE SHE USED TO PLAY
WE HAVE TO BELIEVE
IN THE LOVE OF OUR SAVIOUR
SHE GRADUATED
TO HEAVEN THAT DAY
