The Tubes - Strung Out on Strings lyrics

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
