Drive those pistons with my fist
A thousand miles for her love
My hands are on the steering wheel
Tearing this four lane half in two
She's like God to me
Now I ain't gonna waste my time
If she could hear the sound
Desperation's taking hold
My mind's grinding like a steel gear, baby
Well, I'd go a million for one kiss
I've got to cover some ground
Talkin' on no pay phone line
Of the hammer goin' down
I've got to cover some ground
She know how hard and fast I'm falling for her
Of the hammer goin' down
She'll hear me forty miles away
Of the hammer goin'
If she could just hear the sound
If this rig will hold out one more day
My mind is grinding like a steel gear, baby
My mind's grinding like a steel gear, baby
Words just don't get the message through
She know how hard and fast I'm falling for her
If she could just hear the sound
Of the hammer goin' down
I've got to cover some ground
She know how hard and fast I'm falling for her
At the far end of a thousand miles of road
But my heart's back in Louisville
And do it all again if it ain't enough
If she could hear the sound
Now she ain't just a truck stop queen
Of the hammer goin' down
If she could just hear the sound
