The suns goin down on me
Thoughts of her keep haunting me
Desparations taking hold
My hands are on the steering wheel
But my hearts back in louisvilee
At the far end of a thousand miles of road
My minds grinding like a steel gear baby
Ive got to cover some ground
She know how hard and fast Im falling for her
If she could just hear the sound
Of the hammer goin down
Now I aint gonna waste my time
Talkin on no pay phone line
Words just dont get the message through
Id this rig will hold out one more day
She'll hear me forty miles away
Tearing this four line half in two
My mind is frinding like a steel gear baby
Ive got to cover some ground
She know how hard and fasst im falling for her
If she could just hear the sound
Of the hammer goin down
Now she aint just a truck stop queen
Shes the light guiding me
A thousand miles for her love
Well id go a million miles for one kiss
Drive those pistons with my fist
And do it all again if it aint enough
My minds grinding like a steel gear baby
Ive got to cover some ground
She know how hard and fast Im falling for her
If she could just her 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
