One Paper Kid Lyrics

Emmylou Harris

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 scarred 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 takes long to get 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
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
