Story Behind The Song
I was driving to work and I saw a paper cup blow across the road and I thought to myself how easy life would be if you didn't have to work and you just went where the wind blew you. It sounded pretty great.
Song Description
A silly song about a person wishing that they were a paper cup. To have no responsibilities and no worries. Life would be a breeze. To just go where the wind takes you.

Lyrics
Blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes a while
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to see you smile
Blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes all day
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to hear you say
A paper cup - I wish I was - a paper cup - I wish I was
Life would be great, sippin' champagne
Life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
I said you and me drinkin' endlessly if I were a paper cup
Catch me if you can, you garbage-pickin' man,
cleanin' up the streets again
Wild-eyed goose, you got nothin' to lose,
unless you stick me in the garbage can
Even if you do, no matter what you do,
I'm doin' just the best that I can
Because I'm biodegradable, it's somewhat debatable
if I'll be recycled again
A paper cup - I wish I was - a paper cup - I wish I was
Life would be great, sippin' champagne
Life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
I said you and me drinkin' endlessly if I were a paper cup
All right now
Ooh la la la la, ooh la la la la
Ooh la la la la, ooh la la la la
Well, I'm blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes a while
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to see you smile
Blowin' down the road, fast as I can go,
even if it takes all day
Got a lotta livin', got a lotta lovin',
God I love to hear you say
A paper cup - I wish I was - a paper cup - I wish I was
Life would be great, sippin' champagne
Life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
I said you and me drinkin' endlessly if I were a paper cup
And my life would be ecstasy if I were a paper cup
