Perfectly Good Guitar |
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 |
