John Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitar lyrics

Your rating:

Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs 
Beautiful women were standing everywhere 
They all got wet when he smahed 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 still trying to break his momma`s back 
  
REPEAT 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 till you get some soul 
  
REPEAT CHORUS 
  
Late at night the end of the road 
He wished he still had the old guitar to hold 
He`d rock it like a baby in his arms 
Never let it come ot any harm 
  
REPEAT CHORUS
