Perfectly Good Guitar — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Well he threw one down form 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



Chorus:

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



It started back in 1963

His momma wouldnt buy him

That new red harmony

He settled fgor a sunburt with a crack

But hes still trying to break his mommas back



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 dont get out till you get some soul



Chorus



Late at night the end of the road

He wished he still had the old guitar to hold

Hed rock it like a baby in his arms

Never let it come ot any harm



Chorus
