Lyrics

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 a room five-oh two
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Every bang, every boom
It was just like it was happening in my own room

(Chorus)
'Cause they've got paper walls, paper walls
Paper walls... ooh, yeah

I closed the curtain, I shut the light
I heard the highway moan
Next thing I remember they were having a fight
And then, she was all alone
I heard her cry in the darkest hour
I heard it echo in the hotel shower
I heard her start packing her things, so
I called her number and I heard it ring..

(Chorus)
Right through the paper walls, paper walls
Paper walls, oooh yeah, now

(Instrumental solo - over first part of verse 3)

I've never seen such a sight before
The way she looked when she opened the door
Hush now baby don't make a sound
When all your love comes a-tumblin' down..

(Chorus)
Just like a paper wall, paper wall
Paper wall, ooh just like a paper wall

(Repeat and fade)
It ain't the road that kills you, baby
It's the all night calls;
It ain't the road that kills you, baby
It's just the paper walls
