This was my introduction to Webb Wilder, way back in the 70s. This is still my all-time favorite WW song. All licenses and permissions obtained.

I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Lyrics
Saw an ad in the paper Said the hell with it all Took a gig with the circus As the human cannonball It didn't take long To learn my trade Very first show Man, I blew the folks away Now, the job's a little risky But I'm my own boss I got to tell ya, Jack It really gets me off I live in a tent with The world's strongest man When I met the mother Like to broke my hand My baby, she's a lady In the high-wire act When I'm feeling tense She walks on my back Now, the pay's okay The benefits are great I get to shoot the bull With the world's smallest ape Ah ha I'm the human cannonball I'm the human cannonball, y'all Well I'm a hot shot I'm a cool breeze Underneath the big top I'm the big cheese I lay it on the line Let it all hang When I go, least I know I'll go with a bang I reckon I'm living Every kid's dream It's a buzz, it's a gas It's a real scream Ah ha I'm the human cannonball I'm the human cannonball, y'all Yeah Alright, folks Just make yourself at home Have a snow cone and enjoy the show They put me on the cover Of the U.S.A. Today Tell the world what the human cannonball got to say On the Conan show They sayin' "HC, what you do, you got to be Right outta your tree!" Well, it's a little risky But I'm my own boss I got to tell you, Jack It really gets me off Ah ha I'm the human cannonball I'm the human cannonball, y'all I'm the human cannonball I'm the human cannonball, y'all
