Sammy Hagar Album

Yes, I got a cold, cold feelin'
Yeah, dancin' on hell's ceiling
I move to my side, I lengthen my stride
I saw the big one comin'
Oh, right now, I'm scared and runnin'

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be there

When the hammer falls down
Yeah, when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Nails your balls to the ground
When the hammer falls down

Yeah, you got away with that one
No, you listen, you got away with nothin'
'Cause when the pendulum swings
A new dawn brings light of day
Oh, right now it's swingin' your way

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be there

When the hammer falls down
Oh, when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Nails your balls to the ground
When the hammer falls down

Yeah
Yeah, we always think everything is all right
'Cause it feels all right, looks all right, wooh
Yeah, but you never know
So you keep lookin' over your shoulder, you know
Watch it, oh
So, you'll be cruising along
You might walk around a corner sometime
Karma hit ya in the face like an 18 lb. sledge

Yeah, when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Oh, when the hammer falls down
I don't wanna be around

Woah, when the hammer falls down
Oh, when the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Oh, down, down, down, down

When the hammer falls down
When the hammer falls down
Yeah, when the hammer falls down
Yes

1, 2
1, 2, 3

You seem to like it when I'm down
Kinda makes you feel tall
Step right up, stand on me
I'll learn how to crawl

You treat me so unkind
This may seem way out of line

I'll get down on my hands and knees
If you want me to
Oh, I'm crawling on my hands and knees
Crawlin' back to you
Oh, that's all I wanna do, oh

Can't understand what keeps me hooked
It's like I'm chained and tied
A slave to love, she's got a whip across my back
I've had to swallow my pride

'Cause when she turns away
I've got to have a shot everyday

I'll get down on my hands and knees
If you want me to
Yeah, I'm crawlin' down on my hands and knees
Tryin' to get to you
That's all I wanna do

Yeah, you treat me so unkind
This may seem way out of line, but

I'll get down on my hands and knees
Crawlin' back to you
Yeah, I'll get down on my hands and knees
If you want me to
Oh, I'm crawlin' on my hands and knees
Oh, tryin' to get to you

Oooh--
I can see that you've got fire in your eyes
And pain inside your heart
So many things have come and torn your world apart
Oh baby, baby, baby, don't give up, don't give up
don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
Ohhh, you've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give.....to live
An empty hand reaching out for someone
An empty heart takes so little to fill
It's so much easier to push instead of pull
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
Ohhh, you've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give....to live
Each man's a country in his own right
Oh, every body needs a friend
One friend, one God, one country
No man need defend
I believe in fate and destination
But so much of that lies in our own hands
If you know what you want, just go on out and get it
Oh baby, baby
Don't give up, don't give up
Yeah, yeah
If you want love
If you want love, you've got to give a little
If you want love
If you want faith, you just believe a little
If you want love
If you want peace, turn your cheek a little
You want love
You've got to give
If you want love
Give to live
You've got to give to live
Give to live
Give to live
If you want love
If you want love
If you want love
You've got to give
You've got to give
You've got to give

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
(Once upon returning home)
A touch of sadness but no fear
(Once upon returning home)

I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
(Once upon returning home) Returning home

Once this place was paradise
Green and blue colors of the sea
It's still alive so it shall return
Eventually (Oh, oh, oh)

The sacred builders, the chosen ones
Have learned to live and let live
Once you take what's there to share
You've got to give, you've got to give

Oh, don't let the changes get you down
You'll see the this world turned upside down
If you listen, you'll hear the word
When it comes around, when it comes around, yeah

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
(Once upon returning home)
A touch of sadness but no fear
(Once upon returning home) Yeah

I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
(Once upon returning home)

Look around, there's work to do
A new life for the chosen few
The world sings in the same key, sweet harmony
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Just when you thought you had it made
With fool's gold, the road was paved
And circles get so big and wide
You can't see to the other side, other side

Oh, the long journey wore me down
To see the world turned upside down
There'll be some time before things
Settle down

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
(Once upon returning home)
A touch of sadness but no fear
(Once upon returning home)

Yeah, still I, I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
(Once upon returning home) Returning home, yeah

Oh, don't let the changes get you down, no
You'll see the world turned upside down
If you listen, you'll hear the word
When it comes around, when it comes around

I saw the ruins once the smoke cleared
(Once upon returning home)
A touch of sadness but no fear
(Once upon returning home)

I don't know what I cried about but
Reality removed all doubt
I felt warm but all alone
(Once upon returning home)
Returning home, yeah, wooh
Oh yeah

(Coming home) I saw the ruins, oh
(Coming home) I saw the smoke clear
(Coming home) I felt the world turn upside down
(Coming home)

Oh, I'm (Coming home) oh
(Coming home)
(Coming home)
(Coming home)

Mama, I'm (coming home)
Mama, I'm (coming home)
Oh, returning home (coming home) yeah, ow
(Coming home) ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
(Coming home)
Oh, oh, oh (coming home)
(Coming home)

Yeah
Oh, it looked so easy, baby
Out there on your own, woah
Mmm, it sure looked so easy
Out there on my own, woah

Ain't it funny how the world looks
When you're, when you're almost grown
Almost grown, almost grown

Don't worry about nothin'
You got nothin' to lose, oh no
Always want things to stay that easy, baby
Depending on the road you choose
The road you choose, the road you choose

Standin' at the crossroads
Standin' at the crossroads, baby
Same old crossroads
Same old crossroads, yeah

Mmm

Now let's get back home

Drivin' down that highway
In my automobile
Drivin', drivin', drivin'
Got both hands on the wheel

I got my eyes on the road
Dustin' off white lines
The man's got his eye on me
And that's an invasion of my privacy

It's my last form of sanctuary
Behind blacked out glass
"Hey, who's that in there?
That boy's drivin' much too fast.

Hey, that's some real nice wheels you got there
I bet you paid through the nose."
Yeah, they're checkin' up on me
And that's an invasion of my privacy, yeah, drive

Yeah, out in the streets (no privacy)
In my own bedroom (no privacy)
On the telephone (no privacy)
In the back of my car (no privacy)

I can't get no
I can't give me no
I can't give me no privacy

Yeah, drivin', drivin', drivin'
I got my troubles on hold
Just drivin' down that highway
My fossil fuel's as good as gold

I'm lookin for that long lost road
No sign of man, no sign of life
Where you can't catch me
To invade upon my privacy
Oh, you can't catch me
And invade upon my privacy
Yeah, drive, drive, drive

(Privacy, sanctuary)
Drive, drive, drive, drive, ow
(Privacy, sanctuary)
Drive, drive, drive, drive, ow, ooh

20/20, there's nothin' wrong with my vision
Yet I can't see to make a good decision
Ooh, I can hear alright, except for good advice
If I blow it once, it ain't gonna happen twice

I hate to say it
But I never should have let you go
But now I'm back to let you know

I'm back into you, all the way inside
Back into you, every inch this time
Oh, I'm back into you
'Cause I've played around
But now my aim is true
And it feels so good to be back
I'm back into you

Well, strange people make me a little bit shy
A familiar face always catches my eye
Socially I like to hang out in the comfort zone
'Cause when it comes to love, baby, I got to feel at home, yeah

I hate to say it
But I never should have let you go
But now I'm back to let you know

I'm back into you, I'm all the way inside
Back into you, it's every inch this time
Oh, I'm back into you
'Cause I've played around
But now my aim is true
And it feels so good to be back
I'm back into you, I'm back

First time around
I know it was hard on you
But now I'm back
To follow through

Back into you, all the way inside
I'm back into you, it's every inch this time
Ooh, I'm back into you
'Cause I've played around
But now my aim is true
And it feels so good to be back

I'm back into you, I'm all the way inside
Back into you, every inch this time
Oh, I'm back into you, yeah
All the way, feels so good to be back, baby

Back into you
Back into you

Sunday morning 9 a.m.
I saw fire in the sky
I felt my heart pound in my chest
I heard an eagle cry
Now I'm alive I can breathe the air
Feel the wind, smell the earth in the air
I watch an eagle rise above the trees
Project myself into what he sees
Hey-
Take me away
Come on and fly me away
Take me up so high
Where eagles fly
I oftem dream I sail through the sky
I've always wished I could fly
The simple life of a bird on the wing
Oh Lord, I could sing
Take me away
Come on fly me away
Lift me up so high
Where eagles fly
Oh yeah-
I'm alive, I breathe the air
Wash the earth from my face
I catch a glimpse of another dream
I turn, I look but there's no trace
Take me away
Come on, fly me away
I wanna fly away
Pick me up so high
Where eagles fly
Oh yeah-
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Eagles fly, oh, take me away
Come on, let's fly away where eagles fly
Come on, fly away where eagles fly

People keep tellin' me
"Better save your money, baby
Save it for a rainy day."

And I say, let it rain 'cause
It sure ain't money, babe
Cause me to say what I say

I been criticized
For the way I look
The way I play, the way I sing

Say what'cha want
From way down there
'Cause up here it's got a bullshit ring

I'm not concerned (not concerned)
What I read (what I read)
What I hear
What the future holds

I take my chances (I take my chances)
Blow by blow (Blow by blow)
Because the truth has yet to be told

Well, I just don't know
What they gonna say now

Watching these politicians
Swimmin' in a sea of sharks
One of 'em's got blood on his hands

Everyone scrambles
Just to save his own ass
And the opposition moves in and makes demands

A full investigation
Maybe a resignation
No, no matter what the cost

It's not for the country, no
Two terms in a row
The democrats have lost

Well, I'm not concerened (not concerned)
What I see (What I see)
What I hear
It's all bought and sold

I just believe (Just believe)
What I wanna believe (What I wanna believe)
Because the truth is yet to be told

Well, I just don't know
What they gonna say now, uh
What they gonna say now, well

We'll pay tomorrow for the power today
We'll run you down if you stand in our way
Wow

Over here, 'cause I'm not concerned (not concerned)
What I hear (What I hear)
What I read
It's all bought and sold

I just believe (Just believe)
What I wanna believe (What I wanna believe)
Because the truth is yet to be told

Well, I just don't know
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now
What they gonna say now, now, now, now, now, now
What they gonna say now, oh
