Perfectly Good Guitar Lyrics by John Hiatt

Perfectly Good Guitar Lyrics

    Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs
    Beautiful women were standing everywhere
    They all got wet when he smashed that thing
    But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

    Chorus:
    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

    It started back in 1963
    His momma wouldn't buy him
    That new red harmony
    He settled fgor a sunburt with a crack
    But he's sti'll trying to break his momma's back

    Chorus

    He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
    But ever good thing comes to an end
    Now he just sits in his room all day
    Whistling every note he used to play

    There out to be a law with no bail
    Smash a guitar and you go to jail
    With no chance for early parole
    You don't get out ti'll you get some soul

    Chorus

    Late at night the end of the road
    He wished he sti'll had the old guitar to hold
    He'd rock it like a baby in his arms
    Never let it come ot any harm

    Chorus
