Paperboy - Waylon

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
