Busted

Lyrics

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes And I'm Busted Cotton's is down to a quarter a pound And I'm Busted I got a cow that went dry And a hen that won't lay A big stack of bills That gets bigger each day The county's going to take my belongings away Cause I'm Busted I called on my brother to ask for a loan Because I was Busted I hate to beg like a dog for a bone But I'm Busted My brother said, "Man, there ain't much I can do The wife and the kids Are all down with the flu And I was just thinking of calling on you Because I'm Busted" Well, I ain't a thief, but a man can go wrong When he's Busted The food that we canned last summer is gone And I'm Busted The fields are all bare And the garden won't grow Me and my family got to pack up and go I'll make a living, just where, I don't know Because I'm Busted
