Lyrics

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 goddamn casinos You always kept God close Except that time you bet it all on black, came back to the room with twenty grand [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 that we used to call home As your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone And they're using my muses to make fun of me And you're face up as your blood sucks from an IV [Verse 3] We've come a long way since that shit band at the Blue List You said anything other than another fucking cover of "Only The Good Die Young" But 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 [Chorus] 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 And you're face up while your blood sucks from an IV [Verse 4] But you stood up on your own, your mom called my telephone Said you've been rambling 'bout gambling And howling out in the night high in Yosemite [Bridge] 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 are cannonballs falling in the heat of July 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 are cannonballs falling in the heat of July [Chorus] And you were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police They culled off the town we used to call home As your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
