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
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
