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      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 for a sunburst with a crack   Yeah but he?s still trying to break his momma?s back      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      He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend   But every good thing, it comes to an end   Now he just sits in his room all day   And whistling every note he ever played      Maybe there out to be a law with no bail   You smash a guitar and you go to jail   With no chance for early parole   You don?t get out until you get some soul      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      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 don?t know who they think they are   Smashing a perfectly good, good guitar
