The Hammer Going Down Lyrics - Singles - 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
