Cannonball Lyrics - Singles - Bronze Radio Return

These old rusty sails 

Still guide my way 

Open waters 

To the edge of a quiet bay 

When my ship rolls in 

On a gentle wave 

I see clouds of powder 

From shots that were aimed at me 

[Chorus:] 

Oh no, cannonball 

Won't take us down, won't break these walls 

Or sink, sink my sturdy ship down 

Don't you think, think you could ever make me drown 

And it's oh, oh cannonball 

Oh, oh my cannonball 

Oh, oh cannonball 

Gonna take us in, take us in, take us in, take us in 

I'm no pirate, babe 

And I don't act that way 

Float my boat 

On a quarter note, sea sway 

There's no need for this 

All this hostile fire 

But rest assured, when waters are stirred 

We all ride the tide and nothing is yours 

[Chorus:] 

Oh no, cannonball 

Won't take us down, won't break these walls 

Or sink, sink my sturdy ship down 

Don't you think, think you could ever make me drown 

And it's oh, oh cannonball 

Oh, oh my cannonball 

Oh, oh cannonball 

Gonna take us in, take us in, take us in, take us in
