Throw Down the Hammer

If she
Could see me working
Would she know
That I love her still?
Or should I tell her
The first time I saw her
How my heart pounded
And broke my will?

Throw down, throw down
Throw down the hammer on the concrete ground
And if I make a dollar by the sweating on my collar
I'm gonna take out my Maggie on the town

My hands burn
My fingers blister
But I'll never
Draw the line
Because only she
Can cool the blood
Blood that's boiling
This heart of mine

Throw down, throw down
Throw down the hammer on the concrete ground
And if I make a dollar by the sweating on my collar
I'm gonna take out my Maggie on the town

I once knew her
When I was younger
In the evening light
Of some summer dance
She said one
Must love another
Both with a heart
And with a hand
So I keep on

Throwing down, throw down
Throw down the hammer on the concrete ground
And if I make a dollar by the sweating on my collar
I'm gonna take out my Maggie on the town
Throw down
Throw down the hammer on the concrete ground
And if I make a dollar by the sweating on my collar
I'm gonna take out my Maggie on the town
Throw down
Throw down
Yeah
