verse 1  
Bm                          D  
The sun's goin' down on me, thoughts of her keep hauntin' me,  
G                    Bm                          
desperation's takin' hold. My hands are on the steerin' wheel, but   
    D                                    G  
my heart's back in Louisville, at the far end of a thousand miles of   
Bm  
road.  


G Bm G My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've gotta cover some A G D G ground, she'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her if she A Bm could just hear sound, of the hammer goin' down.
verse 2 Bm D Now I ain't gonna waste my time talkin' on no pay phone line, G Bm words just don't get the message through. If this rig will hold out D G one more day, she'll hear me forty miles away, tearin' in this four Bm lane half in two.
G Bm G My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've gotta cover some A G D G ground, she'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her if she A Bm could just hear sound, of the hammer goin' down.
Solo after Chorus 2nd Chorus G Bm G A G D G A Bm verse 3 Bm D Now she ain't just a truck stop queen, she's the light guiding me, G Bm a thousand miles for her love. Well I'd go a million for one kiss, D G drive those pistons with my fist, and do it all again if it ain't Bm enough.
G Bm G My mind's grindin' like a steel gear baby, I've gotta cover some A G D G ground, she'd know how hard and fast I'm fallin' for her if she A Bm could just hear sound, of the hammer goin' down.
Outrro G A Bm ...if she could hear sound, of the hammer goin' down (2x) Long guitar solo Bm
