    Verse 1
    There's 
    a cross 

    on the 
    highway 

    Where 
    the 
    tra
    gic 
    wreck 
    oc
    curred 

    And I 
    lost 
    two 
    friends 
    taken 

    To 
    a 
    better 
    world 

    Oh 
    there's 
    stop 
    signs 

    and there's 
    curves 

    But 
    the 
    one 
    we 
    got 
    to observe 

    Always 
    bow 
    your 
    head and 

    pray 
    any
    time 

    Night 
    or day 
    whenever 
    you 
    see 
    a cross 
    on 

    The 
    side 
    of 
    the high
    way 

    Verse 2

    Now Derrick 
    Thomas 
    was 
    a champion 

    No 
    one 
    can 
    deny 
    that 

    He 
    led the 
    Alabama 
    Crimson 
    Tide 

    In 
    all 
    time 
    total 
    sack
    s 

    But his 
    heart 
    was even 
    bigger 

    Than all 
    his 
    natural 
    skill 

    He always 
    helped 
    kids 
    in the 

    City 
    and you 
    know what 

    I 
    think 
    he always 
    will 

    Now my 
    buddy 
    Mike 
    Tellis was a 

    Good man 
    everyone 
    loved 
    him 
    so 

    He took 
    care 
    of his 
    dear 
    father 
    'til 

    He 
    too 
    was 
    called 
    to go 

    How my 
    little 
    girl 
    cried 
    when 
    we 

    All 
    got 
    the dreaded 
    news 

    She 
    said 
    but Daddy 
    Derrick 
    and Mike 

    Will 
    always 
    be 
    with 
    us 

    Don't 
    children 
    always 
    tell 
    the truth 

    I never 
    paid 
    no 
    attention 
    any
    time 

    I passed 
    one 
    by 
    oh 
    but now 

    I 
    say 
    a prayer 

    Because 
    now 
    I 
    know 
    why 

    There's 
    a cross 
    on 
    the 
    highway 

    Where 
    the 
    tragic 
    wreck 
    oc
    curred 

    And 
    I 
    lost 
    my 
    two 
    good 
    friends 

    Taken 
    to 
    a 
    better 
    world 

    Oh 
    there's 
    stop 
    signs 
    and curves 
    but 

    The 
    one 
    we 
    must 
    ob
    serve 

    Always 
    bow 
    your 
    head 
    and pray 

    Any
    time 
    night 
    or day 

    Whenever 
    you see 
    a 

    cross 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    I saw 
    it in the morning 
    paper 
    we 

    Hear it 
    on the evening 
    news 

    A mother, 
    a child 

    A 
    family 
    life sometimes 

    can 
    be 
    mighty 
    cruel 

    So 
    God 
    help 
    us 
    through 
    these 
    troubled 
    times 

    And 
    please 
    bless 
    us 
    with 

    peace 
    of mind 

    There's 
    just 
    a shell 
    there 
    in 
    the grave 

    For the 
    soul 
    has 
    flown 
    away 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Always 
    bow 
    your 
    head 
    and pray 

    Any
    time 
    night 
    or 
    day 

    Whenever 
    you 
    see 
    a 
    cross 

    on 
    the 
    high
    way

      Best Tuning App Ever

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
