Scrap Piece Of Paper

Well, in a little bitty nitty gritty one horse town Right side up or upside down A tiny piece of paper got stuck to a boot And it stayed there stuck for about an hour or two 'Til the man climbed in his truck and he kicked it loose Yeah and just like that it was back on the move It got run over thirty-seven times in the street 'Til a bird picked it up 'cause it looked like something to eat But it was finally dropped on the courthouse steps The breeze started blowing and guess what was next It blew in a car window gave an old man a scare Caused a six-car pile up on the downtown square It was floatin' around High in the air Even if you looked you may not see it there It's just one of those things We rarely ever think about Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper There it goes... here it comes Two people in the shadows where they couldn't be seen Both of them was wearin' someone else's ring She said here's my new number, you better write it down So he grabbed that piece of paper just a layin' on the ground He folded it up, and put it in his jeans 'Til it was found by his wife at her washing machine Well, she threw it in the trash, yeah she took it out the door Well that's her job 'cause he don't live there no more She put it by the curb in a rubber maid bin 'Til the neighbor's dog Spot knocked it over again It was set free when the cold wind blew Yeah and just like that it was back on the move A just a floatin' around High in the air Even if you looked you may not see it there It's just one of those things We rarely ever think about Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper Just a floatin' around High in the air Even if you looked you may not see it there It's just one of those things We rarely ever think about Yeah it could come from a hamburger bag or a bubble gum wrapper It's a day in the life of a little scrap piece of paper --- Scrap Piece of Paper - Paul Brandt
