i killed an ant with my guitar

Singer:john hiatt

i killed an ant

with my guitar

underneath romantic indiana stars

he was a fool

i was so cruel

the power of music is no tool

so i hit him in the head

and now he's dead

i killed him there

by the front door

well it was something he was really asking for

he was a chump

it was no bump

or any ordinary lump

no i squashed his little head

and now he's dead

well i'm sure he had a family

some children and a pretty wife

and i'm sure he worked like the devil

ah

who was i to take his tiny life

but. i killed an ant

with my guitar

underneath romantic indiana stars

he was a fool

i was so cruel

the power of music ain't no tool

so i bopped him in the head (not quite sure here.bopped makes about

and now he's dead the only sense)
