Cannonball! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beats me down by the pool
Sweet Suzy, summer’s gone
I know, but the wind is warm
"Paradise," exclaimed my koozie
To her swallow dive in perfect form
[Chorus]
I knew, I knew it'd kill me
But, Sue, I didn’t think it'd hurt so bad
You flew the coop and left me
Talking to my hands
[Verse 2]
Elmo’s fuel, up on FM 20
"I bet my ’84 could beat your 2010"
"Stud horse draw, let’s flip a penny, Hunter
Heads you lose, and tails I win"
[Chorus]
But I knew, I knew it’d kill me
But, Sue, I didn’t think it'd hurt so bad
You flew the coop and left me
Talking to my hands
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I knew, I knew it’d kill me
But, Sue, I didn’t think it'd hurt so bad
You flew the coop and left me
Talking to my hands
[Outro]
Cross my heart and hope to gravy
Baby, loving you is a funeral band
