Hammer

There's a screw followed by a you

Followed by damn, you've done it this time

Here's what I'm gonna do

And there's a door being slammed

Followed by gravel kickin' up from the back of a black Trans Am

Yeah, that's a hammer

That's a heavy blow

That's a nine-pound comin' down on a "Never should've let her go"

And that's a killer

Put her hurt down deep

With a devil red dust cloud rising up's all you see, yeah

That's a hammer

There's a bag and an axe to grind

In the backseat, she left everything else behind

And there's hell, and there's how I feel

And there's a pounding in my head

And a bed that's cold as steel

Yeah, that's a hammer

That's a heavy blow

That's a nine-pound comin' down on a "Never should've let her go"

Yeah, and that's a killer

Put her hurt down deep

When a devil-red dust cloud risin' up's all you see

Yeah, that's a hammer

This ain't no note that she left behind

This ain't no tear falling from her eyes

It's the fire in the words of a last goodbye

That's a hammer

That's a heavy blow

That's a nine-pound comin' down on a "Never should've let her go"

That's a killer

Put her hurt down deep

When a devil-red dust cloud risin' up's all you see

Yeah, that's a hammer

Yeah, that's a hammer
