The Hammer Going Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sun's goin' down on me Thoughts of her keep haunting me Desperation's taking hold My hands are on the steering wheel But my heart's back in Louisville At the far end of a thousand miles of road [Chorus] My mind's grinding like a steel gear, baby I've got to cover some ground She'd know how hard and fast I'm falling for her If she could just hear the sound of the hammer goin' down [Verse 2] Now I ain't gonna waste my time Talkin' on no pay phone line Words just don't get the message through If this rig will hold out one more day She'll hear me forty miles away Tearing this four lane half in two [Chorus] My mind is grinding like a steel gear, baby I've got to cover some ground She'd know how hard and fast I'm falling for her If she could just hear the sound of the hammer goin' down [Verse 3] Now she ain't just a truck stop queen She's like God to me A thousand miles for her love Well, I'd go a million for one kiss Drive those pistons with my fist And do it all again if it ain't enough [Chorus] My mind's grinding like a steel gear, baby I've got to cover some ground She'd know how hard and fast I'm falling for her If she could just hear the sound of the hammer goin' down [Outro] 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
