"One Paper Kid" lyrics

Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb
Tomorrow come 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

One paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit scared and a little bit green
And he heard of a place, it was legal to drink
So we sat with his coffee and a blue Texas wind
And he wrote on a rock
The one paper kid, he's rolling again

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
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

But the one paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit weak '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
It was put on a rock
The one paper kid, he's rolling again
The one paper kid, he's rolling again
