[Bm]
The sun's going down on [D] me, thoughts of her keep haunting [G] me
Desperation's taking [Bm] hold
My hands are on the steering wheel, [D] but my heart's back in Louisville
[G] At the far end of a thousand [Bm] miles road
[G] And my mind's grinding like [Bm] a steel gear, baby
[G] I've gotta cover [A] some ground
[G] She'd know how hard and fast [D] I'm falling for her
[G] If she could just hear [A] the sound of the [B] hammer going down
Now I ain't [Bm] gonna waste my [D] time talking on no payphone [G] line
Words just don't get the message [Bm] through
[E] If this rig will hold [Bm] out one more day, [D] she'll hear me 40 miles away
[G] And tearing this poor lane half [Bm] in two
[B]
[G] My mind's grinding like [B] a steel gear, baby
[G] I've gotta cover [A] some ground
[G] She'd know how hard and fast [D] I'm falling for her
[G] If she could just hear [A] the sound of the hammer [B] going down

[G] [D]
[G] [A]
[B] [Bm]
she ain't just a truck stop [D] queen, she's a light guiding me
[G] A thousand miles for [Bm] her love
Well I'd go a million for one [D] kiss, drive those pistons with my [G] fist
And do it all again if it [Bm] ain't enough
[G] And my mind's grinding like [Bm] a steel gear, baby
[G] I've gotta cover [A] some ground
[G] She'd know how hard and fast [D] I'm falling for her
[G] If she could just hear [A] the sound of the hammer [B] going down
[G] If she could hear [A] the sound of the hammer [Bm] going down
If [G] she could hear the [A] sound of the [N] hammer going
