Lyrics Steel Drivin' Man - Dailey & Vincent

Billy was a hard workin', steel drivin' man
Working on the rail everyday
7 days a week and 16 hours a day
Hoping he would find a better way

He saw many of his friends fall to the ground
And die an ugly death on the rail
Unmarked graves all along his way
Haunt Billy in his mind everyday

So Billy let your hammer ring on that railroad track
Keep rolling your load and never look back
Keep singing your song, slowly as you go
If death comes creeping don't let it take your soul

Billy keeps swinging his hammer all day
While fearing of a cold dark grave
Seen many men die right before his eyes
To this day Billy still hears their cry

So Billy let your hammer ring on that railroad track
Keep rolling your load and never look back
Keep singing your song, slowly as you go
If death comes creeping don't let it take your soul

So Billy let your hammer ring on that railroad track

Keep rolling your load and never look back

Keep singing your song, slowly as you go
If death comes creeping don't let it take your soul
