[Verse] Strings were rusty with stage light sweat Taped and screwed and not dead yet Time and love gave it life Gave it scars But now it's gone Who steals broken guitars [Prechorus] that ain’t a trophy that ain’t a prize It’s a sister in arms from desperate lives [Chorus] Who cut the soul out of a beat-up song Who steals from hands barely holding on That guitar ain't gold it’s a scream It’s a star Who the hell steals a broken guitar [Verse 2] Neon blinked in the club's dim breath A thief in the crowd just dealt us death Not in cash Not in gear But in sound That was our voice now it’s not around [Verse 3] A workman's tools are sacrosanct more than money in some bank Won't sell for jack With that massive crack Now I'm stuck with loaned acoustic crap [Prechorus] It ain’t a relic It ain’t a crown It’s a torn parachute from this rundown town [Chorus] Who cut the soul out of a beat-up song Who steals from hands barely holding on That guitar ain't gold it’s a scream It’s a star Who the hell steals a broken guitar [Final Chorus] Who cut the soul out of a beat-up song Who steals from hands barely holding on That guitar ain't gold it’s a scream It’s a star Who the hell stole my broken guitar [fade out]
