Road Hammers Hammer Goin' Down
The sun's goin' 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 gotta 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 talkin' 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 gotta 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 guidin' me
A thousand miles for her love
Well, I'd go a million for one kiss, I'd drive them 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 gotta 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, oh, oh
The sun's goin' down on me
My heart's back in Louisville
