Travis Randy - Drive Another Nail lyrics

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

To show I haven't failed

But I dont' 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 the 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...
