B G#m

Cowboys and Indians and trees he could climb

F# B

Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind

B G#m

The distance was short so light it again

E F# B

It don't take no time to get where I am

E B

But one paper kid wasn't really so mean

F# B

Just a little bit scared and a little bit green

E F# G#m E

And he'd heard of a place it where it was legal to dream

B G#m

So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind

E

And he wrote on a rock

G#m F# B G#m E F#

The one paper kid he's rollin' again

B G#m

Driver was drunk or he just didn't see

F# B

The future is there it'll happen to me

B G#m

And all the time that he wasted was his once again

E F# B

It never takes too long to go where you've been

G#m F#

Broken hearts scatered all over the past

E B

Old bad memories trying to last

G#m F# E

Whiskey and women and growing up fast

F#

Fussing and loving and itching like grass

B G#m

Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean

F# B

Just a little bit weird cause times were so lean

E F# G#m E

Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream

B G#m

No camels no coffee no cold morning winds

E

It was wrote on a rock

G#m F# B B G#m E F#

The one paper kid is rollin' again.

G#m F# B

The one paper kid is rollin' again.
