Cannonball
Kolby Cooper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every story′s got a first line
Every road's got a long first mile
Everybody′s got a dreamers dream
But y'all we only got so much time
You ain't getting much younger
She ain′t getting more single
And that caddy that your granddaddy owned won′t run forever
So jump in
Let's go
Even if your eyes are closed
I know you′re scared
Nobody got what they want by just sitting there
No regrets on your gravestone
Go big or go home
Might as well jump before you fall
Cannonball

There ain't really nothing to it
Just keep your head down
Keep your eyes on the prize
No matter what you do don′t slow down
Because every roads got an end
You don't really want to see
If I was you I′d listen to me

Jump in
Let's go
Even if your eyes are closed
I know you're scared
Nobody got what they want by just sitting there
No regrets on your gravestone
Go big or go home
You won′t get your name in fames hall
If you don′t Cannonball

Don't waste your time
Because you don′t get it back
Yeah, you could blink
It happens just like that

So jump in
Let's go
Even if your eyes are closed
I know you′re scared
Nobody got what they want by just sitting there
No regrets on your gravestone
Go big or go home
You ain't asking, but I′m telling y'all
