Hammer Down lyrics

Artist  : Billy Dean 
Song : Hammer Down



 Send "Hammer Down" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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
