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 pickinâ 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 Discography Now Strung Out On Strings
