Steel Drivin’ Man

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
