Drive Another Nail Lyrics - Randy Travis

Sam was a carpenter fifty years 

He pounded out blood, sweat and tears 

One day he hung his hammer up 

He wanted to do the things he loved 

What once was Sunday fishin' 

Now was seven days a week 

He told his wife "To find me 

I'll be down at the creek" 

'Cause I don't want to drive another nail 

I've worked hard to do my job and I did it well 

I've got the scars on these two hands 

That show I haven't failed 

But I don't want to drive another nail

Now she was a woman full of faith 

And old Sam was full of pride 

And she knew that he had one more job 

To do before he died 

Easter Sunday rolled around 

In a country church for the lost and found 

Oh, Sam was there against his will 

As a preacher spoke on Calvary's hill 

Of how they took the Master 

And they nailed him to a tree 

You could hear old Sam a cryin' 

As he fell down on his knees 

I don't wanna drive another nail 

I want to live my life for you 

I want to do it well 

You've got the scars on your two hands 

That show where I have failed 

Lord, I don't want to drive another nail

I don't wanna drive another nail 

I want to live my life for you 

I want to do it well 

You've got the scars on your two hands 

That show where I have failed 

Lord, I don't want to drive another nail
