Artist/Band: John Hiatt
Lyrics for Song: Perfectly Good Guitar
Lyrics for Album: Anthology [2001]



he threw one down from 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



it breaks my heart to see those stars

smashing a perfectly good guitar

i dont know who they think they are

smashing a perfectly good guitar



it started back in 1963

his mama wouldnt buy him that new red harmony

he settled for a sunburst with a crack

but hes still trying to break his mamas back



oh it breaks my heart to see those stars

smashing a perfectly good guitar

i dont know who they think they are

smashing a perfectly good guitar



how 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

whistling every note he ever played



well there outta be a law with no bail

smash a guitar and you go to jail

with no chance for early parole

you dont get out until you get some soul



oh it breaks my heart to see those stars

smashing a perfectly good guitar

i dont 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 dont know who they think they are

smashing a perfectly good guitar
