Drop The Hammer
Drive She Said Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alright, yeah!
Alright
Last night, she packed her bags
Walked out into the rain
Some say it was small town luck
Some say her dreams were just slippin' away, yeah
She worked on the midnight shift
The weeks turned into years
Gave her worn out hands
Oh, but she was still lookin' so fine
With her long dark hair
Fallin' down upon the leaves
She lived a simple lie
Couldn't face the simple truth
Oh, it's callin' out for you
Drop the hammer
Ride the storm
Hold your head up high
I'll miss you when you're gone
Time has come
just say goodbye
Let the tears fall down
Like diamonds in the sky
I turn and wonder why
(Chapter Two)
Her dreams grew far away
She could not watch them burn
Into the smoke of a thousand cigarettes
Ashes on the factory floor
Couldn't count them anymore, anymore, yeah, yeah
On the wings of hope she'll fly
Where eagles never climb
Flyin' circles in the sky
Drop the hammer
Ride the storm
Hold your head up high
I'll miss you when you're gone
Time has come
Just say goodbye
Let the tears form into
Diamonds in the sky
Makes you wonder why
Yeah!
She's headin' down a dusty road
Somewhere in Indiana
There's no way she's comin' back, no, no
The love she held within her grasp
Will never take me back to younger days again
When the dreams within me shined
I believe I could hear her singin'
Drop the hammer
Ride the storm
Hold your head up high
I'll miss you when you're gone
Time has come
Just say goodbye
Let the tears fall down
Like diamonds in the sky
(Gotta drop the hammer)
Drop the hammer
Ride the storm
Hold your head up high
I'll miss you when you're gone
Time has come
Just say goodbye
Let the tears fall down
Like diamonds in the sky
(Drop the hammer)
Drop the hammer
Ride the storm
Hold your head up high
I'll miss you when you're gone
Time has come
Just say goodbye
Let the tears form into
Diamonds in the sky
Turn and wonder why
Diamonds in the sky
(Oh...)
Diamonds in the sky
Mmm, makes you wonder why
Oh...
