The Hammer Going Down - Chris Knight

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

My mind’s grinding like a steel gear, baby

I’ve got to cover some ground

She know how hard and fast I’m falling for her

If she could just hear the sound

Of the hammer goin' down

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

My mind is grinding like a steel gear, baby

I’ve got to cover some ground

She know how hard and fast I’m falling for her

If she could just hear the sound

Of the hammer goin' down

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

My mind’s grinding like a steel gear, baby

I’ve got to cover some ground

She know how hard and fast I’m falling 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
