Sammy Hagar › Lyrics › Salvation on Sand Hill

I wasn't worried, I walked into the room
I saw the serpent's shadow against the silver moon
They said as long as you believe, you'll be alright
And I wasn't worried 'til I saw one bite

You could touch, you could feel
You could smell them all through the night
But as long as you believe, you're gonna be alright
Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I didn't worry when I caught the spell, I saw the eyes
Saw the teeth, beads of sweat, think I'd gone to hell
They said as long as you believe a snake won't bite
Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I've gotta tell you power over snakes
Sure makes me feel so different from a cane break
And just as long as you believe a snake won't bite, yeah

Taking up serpents can take your life
They stuck my hand down in there without a bite
Just as long as you believe, boy you'll be alright
I should be running, running for my life, yeah uh

Oh, I didn't tell you about the one that got bit on the face
On the arms, between the legs, on the back of the neck, uh
You see, he didn't believe, the boy didn't believe
I said he didn't believe, he didn't believe

And just as long as you believe, a snake won't bite, uh
So I didn't worry 'cause the snake won't bite
The snake won't bite, the snake won't bite
