"Hit The Nail On The Head" lyrics

"Hit The Nail On The Head"

Standing at the crossroads, staring down the blues
Coming for to carry me away
I'm down to my last dollar, still paying off my dues
And now I might be down to my last play

You gotta hit the nail on the head, lay your hammer down
When the deal is done, step back and take a bow
I'll be driving till I'm dead, ain't never laying down
You gotta make it count when you're living in the red
You gotta hit the nail on the head

Started out on the right foot, soon there was nothin' left
Ambitions only gettin' in the way
The one thing I remember, the one promise that I kept
Turn the page and let 'em hear what you gotta say

You gotta hit the nail on the head, lay your hammer down
When the deal is done, step back and take a bow
I'll be driving till I'm dead, ain't never laying down
You gotta make it count when you're living in the red
You gotta hit the nail on the head

You gotta hit the nail on the head, lay your hammer down
When the deal is done, step back and take a bow
I'll be driving till I'm dead, ain't never laying down
You gotta make it count when you're living in the red
You gotta hit the nail on the head
