Sammy Hagar - Space Between Album Lyrics

Well, the devil came to Philly
All lean, mean and green
With bags of gold and silver
Bustin' out the seams

He never told us anything
But we all did what he say
With a brand-new concept, and now we pay to play
Hey Hey... Hey Hey Hey

Well, the devil came through Philly
Than headed way out west
And we listen and don't say nothing, that's how he like it best
Stopped in California, Denver along the way
To Fort Knox, Kentucky to stash it all away

Hey Hey... Hey Hey Hey (X5)

I want it all I want it now
I got mine I'll get yours somehow
Ohhh nothing but chump change

One and one and one makes three
One for you nineteen for me
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah

The rich and the poor I don't care
Been known to cheat myself at solitaire
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah nothing but chump change

She got dual carburetors, high octane gas
Suck my exhaust while I pass yo ass
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah nothing but chump change
Ohhh have mercy baby
Chump change (X3)

They chew you up and spit you out, you're left for dead
With the wink of an eye, no remorse, no regret
No one ever taught you how to play, this game
Heed the warnings, read the signs, and lay your money down
Two for one, one for nothing, watch that jackpot hit the ground
Hit the ground
No one ever taught you how to play


And if you can't hang (You can't hang)
Step away from the game
If you can't hang (You can't hang)
Get back to where you came from
Take your money and run


Global warming, rising up, devil's at sea level now
Just walking around like a free man and no one gives a f*ck
No one ever taught you how to play


If you can't hang (You can't hang)
Step away from the game
If you can't hang (You can't hang)
Get back to where you came from
If you can't hang (You can't hang)
Step back from the game
If you can't hang (You can't hang)
Get back to where you came from
Just take your money and run

There's a message on a mountaintop
A clear vision in that last drop
There's a red light on a black and white
Feel it coming, yet it's nowhere in sight

I've gotta get out of the city, move out to the country
I need me some of that wide open space

Start a family, watch the kids run around
Work the land like our fathers once done
I'm getting ready for the big flood
Weatherman said it's sure enough gonna rain

Yeah, and the roof needs some patching up
The barn needs some cleaning
The fence needs a mending
The plow needs some spinning
And I need me some wide open space

Wide open space
Wide open space
Wide open space
Some wide open space

I've been dreaming for a long time
Working at it overtime
Saving every last dime
Dreaming
Looking for the right one
That's in it for the long run
I'm hoping she's the right one
Dreaming

Wide open space
Some wide open space
Gimme wide open space
Wide open space
We need some wide open space
Wide open space
Wide open space
Wide open space

Where's my milk, mama? Bring me my wine
You're vaping, scraping from the bottom all the time, oh
Packing up, ain't no fish in this pond
(No really, seriously, believe me)
So looks to me like everybody got conned

Give me back my money
Give me back my land
Give me back my bullets
I wanna be
Yeah, I gotta be a free man
A free man

Call it a vortex, it's more like a landmine
Keepin' it mobile, moving, grooving all the time
Well, hard times in the land of plenty
(Hard times, all kinds, got mine)
Oh, chump change, nothing left from a penny, oh, well

Give me back my freedom
Give me back my land
Give me back my money
I want to be
Oh, I gotta be a free man
A free man, yeah
Yeah, I gotta be a free man

Holy Jesus, save us from ourselves
That little red devil took control of our wealth
Well, I ain't the cause and I ain't to blame
That fool is going around and using my name

Well, give me back my bullets
Give me back my land
Give me back my money
I want to be
Oh, I gotta be a free man
A free man
Yeah, I gotta be a free man

A free man
Oh, a free man
A free man, yeah

Gotta climb that wall again
On the other side's my love, my friend
Here we are at that wall again
Yeah!

Bottom line's I'm in the hole again
On hands and knees, crawlin', crawlin'
On hands and knees, I'm crawlin', crawlin'

What did I do or say this time?
To drag our love, to drag our love
To the bottom line, the bottom line
There's no equity, where's the equity?
In this love of mine, in this love of mine
There's no equity in your bottom line, oh

What did I do, or say this time?
Was it from the past, from the past?
That drags our love to the bottom line
There's no equity, there's no equity

In this love of mine, this love of mine
There's no equity in your bottom line
There's no equity in this love of mine
There's no equity in your bottom line
In your bottom line
In your bottom line
In your bottom line

I want it all I want it now
I got mine I'll get yours somehow
Ohhh nothing but chump change

One and one and one makes three
One for you nineteen for me
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah

The rich and the poor I don't care
Been known to cheat myself at solitaire
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah nothing but chump change

She got dual carburetors, high octane gas
Suck my exhaust while I pass yo ass
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah nothing but chump change
Ohhh have mercy baby
Chump change (X3)

I want it all I want it now
I got mine I'll get yours somehow
Ohhh nothing but chump change

One and one and one makes three
One for you nineteen for me
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah

The rich and the poor I don't care
Been known to cheat myself at solitaire
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah nothing but chump change

She got dual carburetors, high octane gas
Suck my exhaust while I pass yo ass
Ohhh nothing but chump change
Ohhh yeah nothing but chump change
Ohhh have mercy baby
Chump change (X3)

Got it all and I'm still not satisfied
Hit the wall had to call on Jesus
Had a talk with the man in the mirror
Never knew him till now
Now the walls coming down
Affirmation

Wake up, slow down, reach out, look around
Close your eyes and shut up, give back, listen

Got it all and I'm still not satisfied
Hit the wall had to call on Jesus
Had a talk with the man in the mirror
Never knew him till now
Now the walls coming down
Affirmation

You got to unplug, laugh out loud, be right, pay attention
Touch things, make friends, love, don't judge, believe
Don't hate, don't hate, don't hate

Affirmation
Affirmation
Affirmation
Affirmation

It's been around for some twenty years.
I carry a torch in my own way.
But how long can a good thing last?
I start hearin' people say.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
They, they've all taken their turn.
So light a candle and watch the flame.
Watch the flame, until there's nothin' left to burn.
Hey, boys, we're all in this thing together.
And hey, boys, we've all been waiting forever.
But a change is gonna come.
He! Hey, boys!
Hey, boys, hey, boys!
We've all played musical chairs
Been left out in the cold
There comes a time a time for change, yes it does
And then we'll have control.
I'm gettin' tired of that same old song.
I wanna do more than shout.
Yea, someday our turn will come around, yea
It's comin' without a doubt.
Hey, boys, we're all in this thing together.
Hey, boys, we've all been waiting forever.
And a change is gonna come.
A change is gonna come.
Yea, it's gonna come!
Hey, hey, boys!
Yea, it's just around the corner
Now, hey, boys, hey, boys
A change is gonna come.
We've all played musical chairs.
Oh, but a change is gonna come.
Yea, oh, a change is gonna come.
Now, hey, boys, hey, boys.
A change is gonna come.
Oh, hey boys, hey, boys!
Hey boys! Hey, boys!
