Paperboys

New England towns, life hard to grasp
Poor paperboys peddling fast
Checking off names of the houses they pass
As the day slips into the night
Growing up rich, nothing to lose
Living a life we didn't choose
Slaving away to the stock market news
That tells us we're doing all right

'Cause I've got dreams of my own
Westward bounded overtones
Hear them screaming in my mind
Play them back double time

Old paperboys sitting around
Thinking of ways to keep our feet off the ground
Said we'd go down California bound
When we knew more than we know now
We knew life was odd, that things turned out strange
That some dreams could die, and people could change
But promised to do, our best to remain
So that when we were older we could stay the same

'Cause we've got dreams of our own
Westward bounded overtones
Hear them screaming in my mind
Play them back double time

Nothing to prove, nothing to lose
Tie the laces on my best shoes
Tiptoeing out, head in the clouds
And I am on my way

Chasing my dreams to California
Chasing my dreams to California
Chasing my dreams to California
Chasing my dreams through the night

Going down California bound
When I knew more than I know now
Going down California bound
When I knew more than I know now
Going down California bound
When I knew more than I know now
Going down California bound
When I knew more than I know now
