Busted

My bills are all due

And the babies need shoes, but I'm Busted

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, and I'm Busted

I got a cow that's gone dry, and a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day

The county's gonna haul my belongings away, 'cause I'm busted

I called on my brother

To ask for a loan, 'cause I was busted

Lord, I hate to beg like a dog for a bone, but I'm busted

My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do"

"My wife and my kids are all down with the flu"

"And I was just thinkin' 'bout callin' on you, 'cause I'm busted"

Lord, I'm no thief

But a man can go wrong when he's busted

The food that we canned last summer is gone, we're busted

The fields are all bad and the cotton won't grow

Me and family's got to pack up and go

But I'll make a living, just where I don't know, 'cause I'm busted

I'm broke

Busted
