Hammer Down lyrics
I was framin houses in Houston one August afternoon
When the foreman s wife pulled up in her Lincoln and she said I been looking for you
The old man went home early do you wanna take a ride to town
I said I guess it couldn t do no harm and I threw my hammer down
We were shootin straight tequila when the foreman came stormin in
He said honey now didn t I warn you what I d do if I caught you again
She pulled out her little pistol she fired and he hit the ground
She grabbed my arm we jumped into that Lincoln and I put that hammer down
Hammer down hammer down don t look back it s too late now
Ain t nothin you can do about it anyhow
Just put that hammer put that hammer down

Well I heard the sirens moanin just east of New Orleans
She cried out to the trooper thank God you rescued me
When they dragged me into the courtroom I knew where I was bound
That old judge threw the book at me then he threw his hammer down
Hammer down hammer down don t look back it s too late now
Ain t nothin you can do about it anyhow
Just throw that hammer throw that hammer down
[ guitar ]
On a chain gang out of Houston one August afternoon
I see that same old Lincoln and at the wheel there s a brand new fool
Then the warden taps my shoulder says son quit your foolin around
In ninety-nine years you can lay that hammer down
Oh hammer down hammer down don t look back it s too late now
Ain t nothin you can do about it anyhow
Throw that hammer throw that hammer down
Just swing that hammer swing that hammer down swing that hammer down
