One Paper Kid Lyrics

One Paper Kid lyrics



Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb

Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind

Ah the distance was short so light it again

It don't take no time to get where I am

But one paper kid wasn't really so mean

Just a little bit scared and a little bit green

And he'd heard of a place it was legal to dream

So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind

And he wrote on a rock the one paper kid is rolling again



Ah the driver was drunk or he just didn't see

The future was there it'll happen to me

And all the time that he wasted was his once again

Ah it never gets long to get where you've been

The broken hearts scattered all over the past

Old glad memories trying to last

Whiskey and women and growing up fast

Fussing and loving and itching like grass

Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean

Just a little bit weird cause times were so lean

Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream

No Camels no coffee no cold morning winds

It was wrote on a rock the one paper kid he's rolling again

Ah the one paper kid he's rolling again
