Steel Drivin Man' Lyrics - Brothers Of The Highway - Dailey And 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
