The Hammer & the Nail Lyrics

1, 2, 1, 2, 3

I went on down, down to the river
Went on down to see what I could find
Didn't see much, whole lotta nothin'
Except for a school that be takin' on a ride

Oh Lord, oh I should've known, babe
Oh Lord, ooh now I shoulda known
Shoulda known Mama, now I shoulda known

Thinkin' that you're hard as nails
Hopin' that hammer don't fall
You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails
Hopin' that hammer don't fall baby
Talkin' bout the hammer, whoo the hammer and the nail

That's right, oh yeah, tell ya a story

I went on back, back to the river
I went on back, think it wasn't long
And as I stood and stared into the water
I just realized that I bought a dancin' song

Oh Lord, oh I should've known, babe
Oh Lord, ooh now I shoulda known
Shoulda known Mama, now I shoulda known

Thinkin' that you're hard as nails
Hopin' that hammer don't fall
You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails
Hopin' that hammer don't fall baby
Talkin' bout the hammer, whoo the hammer and the nail

Man

You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails
Hopin' that hammer don't fall baby
You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails
Hopin' that hammer don't fall
Talkin' bout the hammer, whoo the hammer and the nail
