Verse 2
G 
But the one paper kid wasn't
D 
Bm 
really so mean
A 
He's just a little bit scared

G 
And he'd heard of a place

Bm 
that was legal to dream
D 
A 
So he sat with his coffee
Bm

and a blue Texas wind
G 
Bm 
And wrote on the rock "the one paper kid,
A 
he's rollin' again"

no cold morning wind
