Lyrics
GOT HAMMERED AT THE BAR THEN GOT IN MY CAR
DROVE DOWN THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD
GOT NAILED BY A COP BEFORE I GONE A BLOCK
HE SAID "SON YOU'RE A FOOL WHO AIN'T LEARNED WHEN TO STOP"
HAMMERED AND NAILED
I STAGGERED AND FAILED THE TEST BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
MY WIFE SAID "GO TO HELL - AND MAKE YOUR OWN BAIL
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GET HAMMERED AND NAILED"
AS I WAS LEAD TO MY CELL
A MAN STANDING IN THE HALL
HUNG HIS HEAD AND CRIED
A CHILD WOULD STILL BE ALIVE
IF HE DIDN'T DRINK AND DRIVE
THAT'S WHEN I SAW HE LIGHT
HAMMERED AND NAILED I KNELT DOWN AND PRAYED
"LORD IF YOU LOVE DRUNKARDS AND FOOLS
PLEASE FORGIVE WHAT I'VE DONE THOUGH YOUR ONLY SON
WHO CAME DOWN TO EARTH AND GOT HAMMERED AND NAILED"
