verse 1 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 N.C. It was just like it was happening in my own room Chorus N.C. 'Cause they've got paper walls, Paper walls Paper walls... ooh, yeah verse 2 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 N.C. I called her number and I heard it ring... Chorus N.C. Right through the paper walls, Paper walls Paper walls... ooh yeah, now Bridge She said Woah, Woah, woah, yeah come on down. Instrumental 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 N.C. When all your love comes a-tumblin' down... Chorus N.C. Just like a paper wall, Paper wall Paper wall...Ooh just like a paper wall Just like a paper wall, Paper wall Paper wall...Ooh just like a paper wall Outro 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
