JOHN HIATT lyrics : "Perfectly Good Guitar"

Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs

Beautiful women were staning 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 stI'll 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 tI'll you get some soul




REPEAT 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





REPEAT CHORUS
