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
