Once i knew a guy, eddie was his name
I live my life like a runaway train
I use blue jeans and smoke cigarettes
His music for me is still the best
His big orange guitar always with him
Summertime blues i want to hear
He had a cool friend called gene too
(i'm)"three steps to heaven", am i blue (2x)
Eddie gave to this world happy days
Suddenly a crash took his life away
He is a star shining in the dark sky
I'm sure his attitude will never die
His music i'll spin on my car today
Hey man i ain't got no time to wait
Slick down your hair like eddie did
Sweetie pie, little lou, skinny jim (2x)
