The Hammer Going Down

Intro: (4 measures) verse 1 The sun's goin' down on me, thoughts of her keep hauntin' me, desperation's takin' hold. My hands are on the steerin' wheel, but my heart's back in Louisville, at the far end of a thousand miles of road. G 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 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, tearin' in this four lane half in two. G 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 sound, of the hammer goin' down. Solo after Chorus 2nd Chorus verse 3 Now she ain't just a truck stop queen, she's the light guiding 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. G 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 sound, of the hammer goin' down. Outrro ...if she could hear sound, of the hammer goin' down (2x) Long guitar solo
