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)
