Cannonball

We've come a long way since those Drunk days on backroads, you and your high hopes Always stayed down, you always saw the best in me High in Yosemite, we howled Now I'm driving through Reno, these God damn casinos You always kept God close, 'cept that time you bet it all on black came back to the room with 20 grand And you were smiling like a thief With your cheek tearing teeth, you was praying to Jesus We was running from the police They're using my muses to make fun of me As your face up while your blood sucks from an IV We spent it all on gasoline, PCH to Cannon Beach Laid in the sand and man I have never seen Something more beautiful than you and your cannonball We've come a long way since that, shit band at the Blue Last You said anything other than another fucking cover of only the good die young And you were smiling like a thief With your cheek tearing teeth, you was praying to Jesus We was running from the police They covered all the songs that are best kept alone 'Cause your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone They're using my muses to make fun of me As your face up while your blood sucks from an IV And I never thought it'd be you I always thought I'd beat you to the Golden Gates Won't you wait a few hours there by the door? We've all been here before But you stood up on your own, your mom called my telephone Said you've been standing and rambling about gambling And howling out in the night high in Yosemite And you were smiling like a thief With your cheek tearing teeth, you was praying to Jesus We was running from the police They sold off the town we used to call home And your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone So call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July
