Strung Out On Strings

No one made me do these things I've done

I did it 'cause it seemed like fun

So don't waste your time with talk of other things

I'll only talk about my thing I have for strings

I got a 6-string Stella on Christmas day

And my mama bought it used so my dad could play

Well I picked it up and played a little Party Doll

I forgot about girls, I gave up baseball

But I never dreamed how far

I'd go with that guitar

Gave this fat boy wings

Strung out on strings

More than any Buddy Holly, Buddy Knox I idolized

In a 6-string rock dream rockabilly lullaby

I'll be playing with the Wailers soon

When I get myself a new guitar

Gonna earn that money

Workin' in a go-go bar

But I never dreamed how far

I'd go with that guitar

Gave this fat boy wings

Strung out on strings

Strung out

Well I made a few records before I made this one

And I made a little money

You know I hope it's only just begun

If I ever have a kid and he's a boy

Gonna tell him one thing

I'll say, "Buy yourself a marimba!

Don't let me catch you pickin’ strings"

I never dreamed how far

I'd go with that guitar

Gave this fat boy wings

Strung out on strings

Just strung out

You'll never know

How far you'll go
