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)
