Paperboy

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
