(Now this is a true story)

I delivered papers in the early morning rain, oh what a pain
Getting up and going to school after that
But I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
Bought a Fender Stratocaster on time
Had the best guitar around, now that's a fact

It had three pick-ups and a tremolo bar
A hard-shell case designed for a star
I couldn't play much, it didn't matter to me
Oh, I thought I was Duane Eddy

Music wasn't much back then, I can still can remember when
The boys asked me to join their band
People liked my guitar, so I stood in the light
It seemed that after every night
It was me who always got the biggest hand

They loved my three pick-ups and my tremolo bar
A hard-shell case designed for a star
I couldn't play much, it didn't matter to me
I knew I was Duane Eddy

They loved my three pick-ups and my tremolo bar
A hard-shell case designed for a star
I couldn't play much, it didn't matter to me
I knew I was Duane Eddy
