Countin' stars was a waste of time

In the sultry heat of that August night

We both knew what was really on our minds

When we said let's take a ride

Down Paper Mill Road



I cuddled closer

I put my hand on his knee

Then I reached up to a kiss on the cheek

He pushed on the gas and put his arm around me

It took forever, it seemed

To get to Paper Mill Road



Our hearts soared high

The top went down

Just two kids out

To break new ground

Innocence was lost

But magic was found

Down Paper Mill Road



The mill gave way to the subdivision track

The gravel road is now a four-lane black top

The memory's still there

They can't take that

That's why I still go back

Down Paper Mill Road



Our hearts soared high

The top went down

Just two kids out

To break new ground

Innocence was lost

But magic was found

Down Paper Mill Road

Down Paper Mill Road
