[Verse 1]
There's a "screw" followed by a "you"
Followed by a "Damn, you've done it this time
Here's what I'm gonna do"
And there's a door bein' slammed
Followed by gravel kickin' up from the back of a black Trans Am

[Chorus]
Yeah, and that's a hammer, that's a heavy blow
That's a nine-pound comin' down on a "Never shoulda let her go"
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

[Verse 2]
There's a bag and an axe to grind
In a backseat, she left everything else bеhind
And there's hell, and thеre's how I feel
And there's a poundin' in my head and a bed that's cold as steel

[Chorus]
Yeah, and that's a hammer, that's a heavy blow
That's a nine-pound comin' down on a "Never shoulda 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
[Bridge]
This ain't no note that she left behind
This ain't no tear fallin' from her eyes
It's the fire in the words of a last goodbye

[Chorus]
Mmm, and that's a hammer, that's a heavy blow
That's a nine-pound comin' down on a "Never shoulda 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
Yeah, that's a hammer
