Perfectly Good Guitar Lyrics - My Kind Of Town: The Lost 1993 Chicago Broadcast - John Hiatt

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
