Busted

Yeah, my bills are all overdue and the baby needs shoes, but I'm busted

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted right now

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 gonna call my baby

Now we go away 'cause I'm busted right now

Oh, yes, I am

Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cause I was busted

I hate to beg like a dog without a bone, but I'm busted, I tell ya

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

My wife and my kids all down with the flu

And I was just thinkin' about callin' on you 'cause I'm busted myself

Well, that's what he told me

Yeah, I am no thief but a man can go wrong when he is busted

The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted right now

Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow

Me and my family got to pack up and go

I'll make a livin' where I don't know 'cause I'm busted today

Y'all know I'm broke?

I ain't got no money

I'm talkin' 'bout empty pocket

Ah, forget it

Oh, the hell with it

Yeah
