To get it, you need to know several things:
1) A bus with four people was headed for Mexico.
2) On the bus was a farmer, a teacher, a preacher, and a hooker.
3) There was an accident and three people died.
4) This story is being told by A preacher.
So during the accident, the preacher handed the hooker his "blood-stained" Bible and said, "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
By the end of the song, the preacher telling the story held up the "blood-stained Bible" and said, "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, and that preacher
Who gave this Bible to my mamma, who read it to me."
That meant the hooker survived the accident, and decided to turn her life around. She gave her Bible to her son, who grew up to be a preacher.

Hooker didn't die......she ended up living, having a son, and the son became a priest. The moral of the song is that the other three people were all good people and left their mark on the world. God wanted the Hooker to live to leave her mark.

The hooker doesn't die. The singer of the song says they heard the story from HIS preacher. The preacher who died gives the hooker the bible (thats why it says "its what you leave behind you when you go") and the hooker gives it to her son the preacher of the singer.

No the hooker doesn't get a cross becaused she survived and the person telling the story is her son.

She not only lived, she is the mother of the guy singing the song!
It's about his MOTHER and how she turned her life around after such a harrowing accident.
