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 room 502
Started doing the thing that we used to do
Every bang, every boom
It was just like it was happening in my own room
Cause theyve got paper walls
Paper walls, paper walls
Oh yeah
I closed the curtain, I shut the light
I heard the highway moan
Next thing I remember they were having a fight in there
And she was all alone
I heard her cry in the darkest hour
I heard the echo in the hotel shower
I heard her start packing her things
So, I called her number and I heard it ring
Right through the paper wall
Paper walls, paper walls
Oh yeah now
She said
Oh yeah
Come on now
Ive never seen such a sight before
The way she looked when she opened the door
Hush now baby dont make a sound
When all your love comes a-tumblin down
Just like a paper wall
Paper wall, paper wall
Just like a paper wall
Paper wall, it's alright
Paper wall
It ain't the road that k**s you
It's not the all night calls
It ain't the road that k**s you, baby
Its just the paper walls
It ain't the road
