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.
