Perfectly Good Guitar

In the style of

John Hiatt

Lyrics

he threw one down from
the top of the stairs
beautiful women were
standin' everywhere

they all got wet when
he smashed that thing
off in the dark you could
hear somebody sing

oh it breaks my heart
to see those stars
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

i don't know who
they think they are
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

oh ooh

it started back in 1963
his mama wouldn't buy him
that new red harmony

he settled for a
sunburst with a crack
but he's still tryin'
to break his mama's back

oh it breaks my heart
to see those stars
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

i don't know who
they think they are
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

oh ooh

well he loved that guitar
just like a girlfriend
but every good thing
comes to an end

now he just sits in
his room all day
whistlin' every note
he ever played

there oughta be
a law with no bail
smash a guitar and
you go to jail

with no chance
for early parole
ya don't get out until
you get some soul

oh it breaks my heart
to see those stars
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

i don't know who
they think they are
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

late at night
the end of the road
he wishes he still had
that old guitar to hold

he'd rock it like
a baby in his arms
never let it come
to any harm

oh it breaks my heart
to see those stars
smashing a perfectly
good guitar

i don't know who
they think they are
smashing a perfectly good
good guitar

oh ooh ooh
oh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
