The sun's going down on me, thoughts of her keep hauntin' me
Desperation's takin hold
My hands are on the stearin wheel but my heart's back in Louisville
At the far end of a thousand miles of road

My mind's grindin like a steel gear baby, I've got to cover some ground
She'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin for her
If she could just hear the sound, of the hammer goin down

Now I ain't gonna waste my time talking on some pay phone line
Words don't get the message through
If this rig will hold out one more day she'll hear me 40 miles away
Tearin this four lane half in two

My mind's grindin like a steel gear baby , I've got to cover some ground
She'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin for her
If she could just hear the sound, of the hammer goin down

Now she ain't just some truck stop queen
Man, she's the light guiding me a thousand miles for her love
Well I'd go a million for one kiss, I'd drive those pistons with my fist
And do it all again if it ain't enough

My mind's grindin like a steel gear baby, I've got to cover some ground
She'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin 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
The sun's goin down on me
My heart's back in Louisville
