They all got wet when he smashed that thing

But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing
5
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars

Smashing a perfectly good guitar

He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
18
But every good thing comes to an end

Smash a guitar and you go to jail
23
With no chance for early parole

Late at night the end of the road
30
He wished he still had the old guitar to hold
31
He'd rock it like a baby in his arms
32
Never let it come to any harm
33
Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
