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
The one paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit scared and a little bit green
And he heard of a place it was legal to dream
So he sat with his coffee in the blue Texas wind
And he rolled on the rock
The one paper kid is rolling again
The driver was drunk and 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 too 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
Well, the one paper kid wasn't really so mean
Just a little bit weak 'cause the times were so lean
Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream
No Camels, no coffee, no cold morning wind
Just rolled on the rock
The one paper kid is rolling again
The one paper kid is rolling again
