One Paper Kid Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Walter M.Cowart) 

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. 

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 rollin' again.

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 gets long to get where you've been. 

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 is rollin' again. 

The one paper kid is rollin' again...
