The moment Kane Brown brought the legend Randy Travis out to his concert is one for the history books of country music. Randy Travis, who had an imperfect stroke some years ago, sat in a red chair on the stage. He cannot sing much anymore, but the vast crowd was there to show him all their love and respect.
Kane Brown started to sing the classic song “Three Wooden Crosses” right to his hero. Kane Brown sat down next to Randy Travis and kept singing the chorus. The crowd took over and sang the most famous line: “It is not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it is what you leave behind you when you go.”

This performance was very moving for the fans. One viewer wrote that they loved seeing Randy Travis “out at all the concerts and on his ranch living life after stroke.” Another said it is the fans’ turn to sing his songs to him now, and that they “all know every word.”
The crowd’s singing honors the strong meaning of “Three Wooden Crosses.” That hit song won a CMA Award because its story is so powerful. It tells about four people riding on a bus late at night that suddenly crashes. A farmer, teacher, preacher, and a prostitute, all are on the same bus.
Three Wooden Crosses
Randy released the song in late 2022, as a single on his album “Rise and Shine.” The story is about what is truly important in life. Three people die, but the preacher gives his Bible to the prostitute, who is the only survivor. In the end, we learn her son grew up to be a preacher because of the Bible she gave him. Kane honoured Randy with his iconic song.
