The Hammer Going Down Lyrics

The Hammer Goin' Down - Chris Knight/Dean Miller
The original key is in Bm (Dmaj). I prefer to do the song in Am standard tuning no
capo or original key Am with capo on second fret. I have submitted the tab in the
original Bm key. Shane
Intro: Bm (4 measures)
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.
Chorus1
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.
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.
Chorus2
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
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.
Chorus3
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)
