The Hammer Goin' Down
By Chris Knight

Capo 2

Am
The sun's going down on me
C
Thoughts of her keep haunting me
F                    Am
Desperation's taking hold
   Am
My hands are on the steering wheel
    C
But my heart's back in Louisville
       F                              Am
At the far end of a thousand miles of road


Chorus:
F                         Am
My mind's grinding like a steel gear baby
F                      G
I've got to cover some ground
F                                 C
She'd know how hard and fast I've fallen for her
   F                       G
If she could just hear the sound
                    Am
Of the hammer going down


Now I ain't going to waste my time
Talking on no pay phone lines
Words just don't get the message through
If this rig'll hold out one more day
She'll hear me forty miles away
Tearing this four lane half in two

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 fists
And do it all gain if it ain't enough

Chorus
