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
