Lyrics Paperboy - Waylon

Paperboy

Every morning, 4AM, you rolled out of bed into his clothes
Hop on his bike, no goodbye, just hit the road
While the world was dreaming
Saving every penny for a girl who stole his heart
And he’d say
Some day I’ll buy her diamonds
And I’m gonna buy her pearls
And if it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna give her the world
Ain’t nothing a boy won’t do for his girl
You see her Mom and Dad had left behind a diamond wedding ring
A string of pearls and memories sitting sent Daddy off to drink
And times got tough, he sold them off to pawn shop down the street
Pressed against the glass, the paperboy praying for another week
Thinking
Some day I’ll buy her diamonds
And I’m gonna buy her pearls
And if it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna give her the world
Ain’t nothing a boy won’t do for his girl
A knock on the door, there stands a man all dressed all in blue
Said «I'm sorry darling I’m afraid I got bad news
That your pickup boy had an accident and they couldn’t pull him through
And all he had was his jewellery box and a letter meant for you»
And he’d say
Some day I’ll buy her diamonds
And I’m gonna buy her pearls
And if it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna give her the world
Ain’t nothing a boy won’t do for his girl
Some day I’ll buy her diamonds
And I’m gonna buy her pearls
And if it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna give her the world
Ain’t nothing a boy won’t do
Oh, there ain’t nothing this boy won’t do
Ain’t nothing a boy won’t do for his girl
