The Hammer & The Nail

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, ohh, now I shoulda known, shoulda known

Mama, now I shoulda known

Thinkin' that you're hard as nails

Hopin' that that hammer don't fall



You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails

Hopin' that that hammer don't fall, baby

Talkin' 'bout the hammer, whoo

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, stared into the water

I just realized that I bought a dancin' song



Oh Lord, oh, I should've known, babe

Oh Lord, ohh, now I shoulda known, shoulda known

Mama, now I shoulda known

Thinkin' that you're hard as nails

Hopin' that that hammer don't fall



Thinkin' that you're hard as nails

Hopin' that that hammer don't fall, baby

Talkin' 'bout the hammer, whoo

Hammer and the nail, man



Oh, yeah, thinkin' that you're hard as nails

Hopin' that that hammer don't fall, baby

You're thinkin' that you're hard as nails

Hopin' that, that hammer don't fall

Talkin' 'bout the hammer, whoo

Hammer and the nail, whoo
