As recorded by Zach Bryan
(From the 2026 Album WITH HEAVEN ON TOP - ACOUSTIC)
[Intro]
G Em7 Dsus2 C/G
[Verse 1]
G C/G We've come a long way since those drunk days on backroads Em7 You and your high hopes always stayed down D C/G You always saw the best in me, high in Yosemite, we hide G C/G Now I'm driving through Reno, those goddamn casinos C/G You always kept God close Em7 D C/G Except that time you bet it all on black, came back to the room with twenty grand
[Verse 2]
G C/G We spent it all on gasoline, PCH to Cannon Beach Em7 Laid in the sand and, man, I have never seen D C/G Something more beautiful than you and your cannonball
[Chorus]
Em D You were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth G C/G You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police Em D They sold off the town we used to call home G C/G And your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone Em D And they're using my muses to make fun of me G C/G And your face up as your blood sucks from an IV
[Interlude]
G C/G Em7 Dsus2 C/G
[Verse 3]
G C/G We've come a long way since that shit banned at the Blue List Em7 D C/G You said anything other than another fucking cover of "Only The Good Die Young" G But I never thought it'd be you C/G I always thought I'd beat you to the Golden Gates Em7 D C/G Won't you wait a few hours there by the door? We've all been here before
[Chorus]
Em D You were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth G C/G You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police Em D And they're using my muses to make fun of me G C/G And your face up as your blood sucks from an IV
[Verse 4]
G But you stood up on your own, your mom called my telephone G Said you've been standing and rambling about gambling Em7 D C/G And howling out in the night high in Yosemite
[Bridge]
Em D So call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride? G There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July Em D Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride? G There's cannonballs falling in the heat of July Em D Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride? G There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July Em D Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride? G There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July Em D Call up your brothers, won't you take you a ride? G There are cannonballs falling in the heat of July
[Out-Chorus]
Em D You were smiling like a thief with your cheek-tearing teeth G C/G You was praying to Jesus, we was running from the police Em D They sold off the town that we used to call home G C/G And your cannonball sits on Cannon Beach alone
