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
