Lyrics of Strung out on strings

Strung out on strings
Spooner/steen/evans

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
