lyrics

Oh sister tell me do you still remember,
Your long lost brother Tom he’s coming home,
Well he looks a little worse for wear,
Some say he’s beyond repair,
And that he sold his soul to the open road,
And the sound of the cannon & ball

Oh fix me up a feast before I see tomorrow at least,
I’ll tell you all about them bad old days,
My mother I never knew,
And my father,
I wouldn’t have a clue,
From the day I could call out their names then all,
I could hear was the cannon & ball

I been struggling with my religion,
Skipping every day in school,
I’m gonna roll up my cuffs,
Start strutting my stuff,
Lets have a little song & dance,
I’m gonna play me a shaky rhythm,
Hit ‘em with an aching heart,
Count four to the floor,
Because we’re going to war,
With the sound of the cannon & ball

Oh brother brother brother,
How wrong can you be,
You’ve got a trail of ghosts,
From coast to coast,
Telling you you gotta come clean,
There’s no doubt about it,
You’re on borrowed time,
If you could play it again,
Would you play it the same,
Or would you run from the cannon & ball
