Cannonballers Lyrics:
Pulled behind a car with 100 different bumper stickers on
In the left lane crawling 58 on the freeway
Ears a ringing keychain
Pressure in the blood
Can’t slow down I’m a time bomb ticking while I run
With a loaded gun staring at the sun
Got a blind eye never hit the bulls eye
Just like acting tough
And I keep asking myself
Hey, why are you running?
Hardtop Impala
Blank Checks and Cannonballers
Heard the whistle blow
From the Wabash
Can’t Borrow time with the Cold Cash
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Television preacher got yourself another seeker on the line
Could you make the time
I could use divine intervention
Undivided attention
Someone needs to know
Yeah I cooked the books and threw my combinations
Dodging jabs and hooks
With shallow conversations
Like a surface level
Speed sick devil on the loose
And I keep asking myself
Hey, why are you running?
Hardtop Impala
Blank Checks and cannonballers
Heard the whistle blow
From the Wabash
Can’t Borrow time with the cold cash
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
(with the cold cash)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
(But I keep on running)
Hardtop Impala
Blank Checks and cannonballers
Heard the whistle blow
From the Wabash
Can’t Borrow time with the cold cash
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
(can’t borrow time with the cold cash)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
And i keep asking myself hey, what are you running from
Don’t know why I keep running

Just bumped "Highway Star" from the top of my driving songs list.
And, the lyrics sites have "blank checks." As a one-time 4 hour a day LA commuter, I was sure the words were "brake checks." Not a common term for those who don't spend a lot of time in raging traffic.
That bass line could be the intro for a TV Show. Sweet tune!
that's what we are going for
My daughter (1-1/2) fell asleep to this on an ad while she was watching Elmo, I was in the other room and I came into it like oh thank g she’s asleep!!!!!(it was taking forever and I was sick of trying to force it) then I went to turn off the tv but had to stop and Shazam this beauty!!!🔥 Now I listen to it with her and she does her rock on head bang!🤣
LOL! Awww I miss Elmo! So glad he's still killing it on the Tele! :)
Heard this on the radio and it was hard to find. You guys deserve more recognition. I love it!
I heard it on Out Of Order. It's like a top 15 count down but they play them out of order. Had to go to their site to find out what it was called

It must be exhausting being this talented isn’t it? Haha congrats on another amazing track boys!
You are too kind! Much love
The band posted on instagram: ''TRACK 3..There was a rollercoaster at the old Opryland USA theme park in Nashville called the Wabash Cannonball. As kids, that was by far me and Will’s favorite ride. When this song started coming together I was thinking about all these memories from growing up in Tennessee and this rollercoaster came to mind. I thought that with the riff and the energetic nature of the song it would be a great easter egg to somehow work the words Cannonball and/or Wabash into the lyric somehow. They are just fun words to say. Little did I know that in doing so we would uncover not just a new song but the album title itself.
I started reading into the backstory of this legendary train called the Wabash Cannonball and came across this American mid-west folklore: “Probably the most prominent legend of the Wabash Cannonball is the locomotives place as a “Flying Dutchman” in hobo culture of the early 1900s. Like the Dutchman, the Cannonball was supposedly a cursed train forever doomed to ride the rails for eternity. Hobos would only see the Cannonball at their time of dying. Such a story seems ridiculous, but imagine being told the tale in the dark of night, over a dying campfire. In that context, the Wabash Cannonball story would become downright ominous.”
I’ve always been fascinated with “train lore” (Hence the Mr. Runaway trilogy from “Leave What’s Lost Behind) so this story of the Wabash Cannonball really stuck with me. It’s eery but also really poignant.
In a way “Cannonballers” is barking up the same tree that “Would Ya Could Ya” is, just with a darker tone. We live so much of our lives at this crazy fast pace while hoping to get as much out of life and to stick around for as long as possible. That is the contradiction that this song explores. If we want more out of life why don’t we slow down instead of speed up? No amount of money, clout, or success will change life’s final destination… so why are we acting like we are in a hurry to get there? Why are we running?''
I’ve been listening to you guys since high school and you’ve been one of my favorite bands ever since. Every project from over the years has been so different. It’s really awesome to see you guys explore new sounds and never box yourselves in. Y’all should be proud!
Such a VIBE, my dudes. Huge props on the song, and also the vision/execution of a real dope music video. Artistically it is so fun and energetic, I love it all.
Thanks So much!
aye saw ya live! that shit was crazy, also he threw a water bottle at the crowd what a badass lol
I lived in a place called 'colony house' (park employee cottages) that was at Saint Mary's lodge at Glacier park Montana back in the day
Love this track, and not just because I drive a hard toped impala
Just bought the track! It's on HEAVY rotation now. Dang, I haven't been this excited for music since Mutemath! Had to look look up the meaning of the Wabash Cannonball. Really pulls the song together when you know what it is. Thanks Colony House!
Thanks so much!
If Cage the Elephant and the Pixies had a baby.
Saw you guys in Seattle with Switchfoot (both nights) and you’ve been one of my faves ever since!! I’ll definitely be at any potential Cleveland, OH show you have
Just recently discovered you guys from this track. Love it!
Heard this on Spotify and I love it! It's weird because the local minor league basketball team is called the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 😆
Heard this song on the way to work this morning and then continued to play it 16hrs straight to get me through the gruel... thanks bros!
I found this song completely by accident and I’m so stoked! Every other song is absolute 🔥 I’m so glad I found you!
Ngl, I thought it was “can’t borrow time with the Kohls Cash” the first time I heard it.
CFox plays the latest and greatest, and this one kicks ass. Thought it was The Beaches, but should have known better, they're an all girl band. Great song!
I've seen you guys twice live and both times they were probably my all time favorite shows. I think this might be my favorite song of yours yet. Love the new sound and vibes!
Keep going to the shows!!! They only get better and better
Sooooooo underrated. Damn this song should'be been no1 on all radio stations.
Heard this on an Ad for Spotify and WOW! Awesome song, keep up the good work 🤍
THIS DESERVES MORE VIEWS AND LIKES! ITS SO GOOOOOD
This might already be my most played song this year and my friends are probably sick of me sending them the link but it’s too good. Can’t wait to see what’s in the pipeline
Every time I listen to this song I put it on repeat. I love it. Super fun song to play on guitar as well. I love the bass lines.
Colony House always makes the best music videos! Great job!! 🙌🙌🙌
I just found you guys from a friend and y'all have instantly become one of my favorite bands 🔥 so awesome
Edit: that friend is now my girlfriend :)
I freaking love this song!!!! ❤❤❤ everything about is so clean and well thought out!!

I'm a year late to this party, but damn better late than never. This song is fantastic!
I’m so mad but that Spotify ad GOT ME, I instantly had to search you guys up! The intro to this is FIRE
Is this song about door dash, or khols Kash?

Accidentally came across this on SiriusXM today, so glad I did. It has a very cool vibe to it!
Is that a '70 Chevy Impala? Love that car! My sister sent me a link to this song and now I can't stop listening! Awesome!
Freaking love this song! It's gonna hit like Portugal the man
HEARD THE WHISTLE BLOW 🌬 🗝🗝🗝
Just discovered this band, but this track is amazing!! 😁
I LOVE THIS SONG. Roon Records... GET THIS ON ALT 98.7!!!
Very catchy toon, very enjoyable. 💯🤟
Heard this on 89.7 The River while driving to work. Great song :)
can i get your autographs at the iron blossom festival in richmond, va? and no offense, but much the same as inhaler from dublin, i came across you guys by 'accident.'
great show yesterday. caleb you got close to me when you mingled in the crowd and i was ready to snap a selfie, but you stopped short of the place i was standing. no worries. i was the old guy with baseball cap and sunglasses wearing the orange t shirt. i had to leave the stage crowd as will's bass drum was acting like a pacemaker on the rhythm of my heart. seriously, i thought was about to have arrhythmia...i'm not saying your timing was off, but the natural beat of my heart was competing with the pounding of the kit. i didn't get any autographs, but you both, along with the other band members sure represent your father and maria with class and grace during your performances. shalom.
I can’t get enough of this song! I’m sharing it everywhere!! ❤
If I’d never heard Beck I think I’d like this a lot more.
Grateful to be a part of this! Hope everyone loves it :)
Love this song
Anyone know if they are influenced by @ the Judybats ?
well maybe dave kendall might know the answer to that!
Thankful for Spotify ads. If it weren't for that I would not have discovered this absolute banger!
Man I’ve been listening to you folks for a while. This is too fresh 🌲💵
I've been following these guys since 2015 and just a few days ago, I finally heard CH on a local FM station (Canada too). They're making waves, finally...
