lyrics

You might find one at the side of a two-lane highway
Or next to a bridge in pretty Minden town
Beside a guardrail just outside of Hall’s Lake
Or a railway crossing far from where you’re bound

And just like mile markers out of sinc, no rhyme or reason known
Little white crosses at the side of the road
and then you stop to look and read their stories in grass that’s overgrown
Little white crosses at the side of the road

Doesn’t really matter who you are in this world
No one plans on their journey stopping here
Guilty or not it comes to an end so quickly
And the final resting place is oh so clear

And just like mile markers out of sync, no rhyme or reason known
Little white crosses at the side of the road
and then you stop to look and read their stories in grass that’s overgrown
Little white crosses at the side of the road

Plastic flowers and Teddy Bears are symbols
Personalized by the ones who really care
Words of comfort scrolled across a banner
To the names of those who’s souls were laid bare

And just like mile markers out of sync, no rhyme or reason known
Little white crosses at the side of the road
and then you stop to look and read their stories in grass that’s overgrown
Little white crosses at the side of the road

Little white crosses mark the end of the road
