The legendary crooner's 2002 track "Three Wooden Crosses" was named among the best country faith songs for Easter, according to a list assembled by American Songwriter—which also includes songs by Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton and more.
"Three Wooden Crosses," was featured on Travis' 2002 country gospel album Rise and Shine. It tells the story of a fatal bus crash that kills three people: a farmer, a teacher and a preacher. The fourth rider, a prostitute, is revealed to have survived the crash and received the preacher's "blood-stained Bible," which leaves a lasting impact on both her and her child.
"There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highwayWhy there’s not four of them, now I guess we knowIt’s not what you take when you leave this world behind youIt’s what you leave behind you when you go"
