Paper Champions by Kurt Gunn

PAPER CHAMPIONS

He's just a paper champion, I've heard them say
It seems I've fought my whole life
Up to and including the present day
And I don't quite recall things coming easily

If you travel the high road then you know
It's a beautiful place
But for some it just got lost, maybe washed itself away
and I don't quite recall a storm that ever had the strength

So meet me down in the valley
Where the water drinks like wine
And I'll be there with a story to share
If you've got some time

When the world got in a hurry, it outran the simple kind
But you can still find some truth, it's just harder to find
Me, I'll be down in the water just drinking myself blind

So meet me down in the valley
Where the water drinks like wine
And I'll be there with a story to share
If you've got some time

Meet me down in the valley
Where you can sleep in your own skin
And I'll be there with a story to share
For all us paper champions
