The Hammer Goin' down

The sun's going down on me, thoughts of her keep hauntin' me

Desperation's takin' hold

My hands are on the stearin' wheel but my heart's back in Louisville

At the far end of a thousand miles of road

My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've got to cover some ground

She'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her

If she could just hear the sound, of the hammer goin' down

Now I ain't gonna waste my time talking on some pay phone line

Words don't get the message through

If this rig will hold out one more day she'll hear me 40 miles away

Tearin' this four lane half in two

My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've got to cover some ground

She'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her

If she could just hear the sound, of the hammer goin' down

Now she ain't just some truck stop queen

Man, she's the light guiding me a thousand miles for her love

Well I'd go a million for one kiss, I'd drive those pistons with my fist

And do it all again if it ain't enough

My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've got to cover some ground

She'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her

If she could just hear the sound, of the hammer goin' down

If she could hear the sound, of the hammer goin' down

If she could hear the sound, of the hammer goin'

Of the hammer goin' down

The sun's goin' down on me

My heart's back in Louisville
