Paper Walls

Well, I had just checked in when the sun came up
After ten hours on the bus
I was staring at the stains on the ceiling, baby
Trying not to think about us

But then someone in room 502
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Every bang, every boom
It was just like it was happening in my own room

Cause theyve got paper walls
Paper walls, paper walls
Oh yeah

I closed the curtain, I shut the light
I heard the highway moan
Next thing I remember they were having a fight in there
And she was all alone

I heard her cry in the darkest hour
I heard the echo in the hotel shower
I heard her start packing her things
So, I called her number and I heard it ring

Right through the paper wall
Paper walls, paper walls
Oh yeah now

She said
Oh yeah

Come on now

Ive never seen such a sight before
The way she looked when she opened the door
Hush now baby dont make a sound
When all your love comes a-tumblin down

Just like a paper wall
Paper wall, paper wall

Just like a paper wall
Paper wall, it's alright
Paper wall

It aint the road that kills you
It's not the all night calls
It aint the road that kills you, baby
Its just the paper walls

It aint the road
