[Verse 1] Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb Tomorrow came too fast, but he didn't mind The distance was short, so light it again It don't take no time to get where I am [Chorus] 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 where it's legal to dream So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind And he wrote on a rock, "The one paper kid. he's rolling again" [Verse 2] The driver was drunk or he just didn't see The future is there, it'll happen to me And all the time that he wasted was his once again It never takes too long to go where you've been [Bridge] Broken hearts scattered all over the past Old bad memories trying to last Whiskey and women and growing up fast Fussing and loving and itching like grass [Chorus] But one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit weird 'cause the 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 He read on the rock, "The one paper kid, he's rolling again" The one paper kid, he's rolling again
