Zersch - Paper Route (Version 2) Lyrics

Johnny was the quarterback, he lived just down the block
Every Saturday he would be my favorite stop
See his name in black and white from the game Friday night
Johnny went away to school in his daddy's Oldsmobile
It was on page two how he died behind the wheel
From a drunk driver on the edge of town
I found out on my paper route
I found out on my paper route
Carol was a pretty girl, she wore a ribbon in her hair
At the age of ten I guess I didn't really care
She would often wait for me, take the paper right from my hand
By and by, I wondered what these feelings were
When she smiled at me I guess I smiled at her
Never kissed a girl before, I'd wondered why I'd ever want to...
I found out on my paper route
I found out on my paper route
Every house was different, every house was the same
Some faces smiled at me, some never even knew my name
Fence to fence, tree to tree, they left their mark on me
Now I'm thirty-five and I don't live there anymore
But in my head I remember most every door
And I can see there's a lot in me that...
I found out on my paper route
I found out on my paper route
