One Paper Kid Lyrics by Emmylou Harris

One Paper Kid Lyrics

    (walter martin 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 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
    Ah, 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
