One Paper Kid lyrics

Artist  : Guy Clark 
Song : One Paper Kid



 Send "One Paper Kid" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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
