"Born With A Hammer In My Hand"
Blue Highway
Capo 4
Intro - G D G C G D G
Verse: G D G
I was born with a hammer in my hand
It's the kind of life I doubt you'd under[C]stand
I'd [G]give anything just to hear the cold steel ring
Cause I was born with a [D]hammer in my hand
Swingin' steel's the only life I've known
I've never been afraid to be alone
Hope my Mama understands I'll always be a working man
Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand
John Henry was a steel-drivin' man
You could hear his hammer ring across the land
But before the steam drill came, John Henry knew my name
Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand
The bossman tries to break a good man's back
It takes thirty men to lay eight miles of track
If the shaker holds the line, they'll be thirty miles behind me
I was born with a hammer in my hand
John Henry was a steel drivin' man
You could hear his hammer ring across the land
But if you put us side by side, he'd have to run and hide
Cause I was born with a hammer in my hand
Yes I'll die with a [D]hammer in my [G]hand
