The farmer is on vacation, the teacher is there for higher education. The two looking for lost souls are the preacher (to evangelize) and the hooker (to find customers).
@@SolaMelodica introduced as "a farmer, a teacher, a hooker, a preacher" then "for vacation, for higher education, two for lost souls" it goes through the purpose in the same order as they are introduced.
If it's not already mentioned in the comments, "Two of them were searching for lost souls" refers to the preacher and the hooker. The preacher was looking for the unsaved, to try to reach them, and the hooker was searching for her own soul, the image invokes the idea that she is in the depths of despair knowing that she is lost; that she is on the wrong path and knowing she needs to change but is searching for how. It's easy to understand what she is going through.
The hooker is looking for lost souls, plural. Not lost soul, singular. The same sort of people the preacher would hope to save are the sort that she would be looking for as customers, at least, before the fateful events of that midnight bus ride, the preacher's actions and her own miraculous survival, redeemed her and she went on to raise her son in faith who eventually carried on the legacy of the preacher.
@@dukecadrac3487 Since both the preacher and the hooker were looking for lost souls it would be plural. She knows her soul is lost and she's looking to find it. The preacher knows there are many lost souls in the world. Look at the hooker with some empathy and try to see the despair she is feeling at how her life has turned out. It's wrong to think she's looking for customers, at least as I see the meaning of the song.
Close on the initial deduction, but the farmer was going on vacation, the teacher was going for higher education, and the preacher and hooker were searching for lost souls for opposite reasons, one to save, and one to use.
Love your reaction, brother! Have always suspected that when Randy says "It's no what you take when you leave this world behind you" might mean that many people may regret having to die because they're afraid of taking their affection, guidance and companionship away from their loved ones who are still here on earth.
Classic country. Randy Travis is one of my favorite country singers. And his voice is just made for telling the story of these three crosses. There are so many things to take note of in this video. The significance of the blood stained Bible. The gospel is not pretty and proper. God’s redemptive plan for us was costly and gruesome. And I’m so very thankful. Towards the end, your response to the words “Can’t you see?” is worth noting and repeating. Can’t you see? It’s a sharing of truth in an awe inspired response to God’s grace and mercy. It is for everyone who believes. A beautiful song written for us all to SEE. Thanks for sharing.
@solamelodica One of the best songs ever in my book!! Randy Travis is from back in the day. You were saying that Randy looked a little rough or something, that's because he wasn't always a Christian til he married his wife. He did a lot of drugs and drinking and a couple years ago ended up having a very severe stroke that almost ended his life. From that stroke he lost his voice ( eventually getting most of it back ) and he is paralyzed on his right side of his body! I'm happy I got to recommend this song and glad you enjoyed it like I do! Awesome video and thanks for sharing!
I disagree everyone is forgiven by God and goes to a better place. They reunite with family. They may have to do it again if they have more lessons to learn. Everyone sins. God has you relive all you did or did not do in life and the effect that had on other people.
The lady of the night and the preacher were the ones looking for lost souls, albeit for vastly different reasons. The farmer was on vacation, and the teacher was searching for higher education.
I think you are missing the line "Two of them are searching for lost souls." I always thought it was the the hooker and the preacher. You might be right. But I always took figured their reason for taking the bus was in the same order they are mentioned. But either way it doesn't take away from the meaning of the song.
There are plenty of preachers who may possibly not go to heaven. I don’t think the disciples had a couple shekels to rub together much less enough money to get a super church, a private airplane, etc…..
My interest is why your first reaction was the preacher died instead of the hooker. The song didn't imply one or the other. It left it up to the listener. Why do some automatically go 1 way while others automatically go the other?
There were 5 people on the bus. The bus driver, a farmer, a teacher, a hooker and a preacher. The song is about the farmer, the teacher, the hooker and the preacher the driver doesn’t get a mention apart from the fact he misses the Stop sign. When the preacher preaches his sermon he blesses the farmer, the teacher and the preacher. He then tells us that the Bible was given to the hooker who read the Bible to him. The hooker was this preacher’s mother. He’s not the preacher on the bus he is the son of the hooker.
The song does imply the preacher died. The last line of the second stanza says; "It's what you leave behind you when you go". The next verse then explains what those who died left behind: The farmer left a harvest, the teacher left her wisdom, and the preacher left his blood stained Bible to the hooker along with a message of hope. Also at the end of the song, the preacher telling the story says that preacher on the bus gave the blood stained Bible to his mama who is the hooker, so the hooker survived the crash. The blood stains on the Bible are from the preacher killed on the bus.

what? Not how I saw it.
@Randall Slaughter hadn’t considered that. I’ll have to listen again.
@Jordan Howe that's the same way I've always seen it.

I always felt the hooker was searching for her own lost soul and the preacher helped her find it.

I agree with you but I believe the "lost souls" the hooker was looking for are people that use hookers?

Another great video sir. Enjoyed not only the song but your commentary as well. Thank you for your ending prayers 👍
We miss seeing you Crimson Draak.
@@dawnkiser1739 Definitely miss all of you as well
:)
This song is so easy to understand, why? do so many people missmisinterpret it.
The 2 searching for lost souls, logically, were the hooker and the preacher. And why does no person realize it's the hooker who lived? 😮 😮 😮

Interesting. Thanks for sharing that info!
i think this preformance was not long before he had his stroke.
Another song about coming full circle is - Clay Walker's ; The Chain Of Love and David Ball's ; Riding WIth Private Malone.
I believe the other one looking for lost souls was the hooker. Other than that I agree with your analysis!😊✝♥
Two more great songs you should do is Long Black Train and Me And God, both by Josh Turner
I disagree everyone is forgiven by God and goes to a better place. They reunite with family. They may have to do it again if they have more lessons to learn. Everyone sins. God has you relive all you did or did not do in life and the effect that had on other people.
I agree with you totally. God forgives. I really don't believe in Hell. You met God n say " I believe that Jesus is my savior "

Please react to TOOL "RIGHT IN TWO."
It's about GOD giving man FREE WILL viewed from the Angels perspective. 🤞
Please react to A PERFECT CIRCLE "THE DOOMED."
It's about the BEATITUDES from the SERMON ON THE MOUNT. 🤞
True. I prefer to use "hooker" in a much more polite way in conversation. 🤣
Touche. :)

First time hearing so it's possible that I missed something.
Check out the Bluegrass song "Best Friends" by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. Thanks for your work.
I love bluegrass and haven't reacted to one yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

Not sure. I only heard the song that one time. Perhaps if i listened more than once I'd think differently?

Buddy...you need to read deeper into YOUR Bible. Got a little hate there...
