Busted Lyrics

My bills are all due and the baby needs 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 getting bigger each day
The county will haul my belongings away
'Cause I′m busted

I went to see my brother, gonna ask him for a loan
I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I′m busted

My brother said there ain't one thing I can do
The wife and the kids they′re all down with the flu
I was just thinking about calling on you
'Cause I′m busted

I ain't no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he′s busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone
And I'm busted

Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family gotta pack up and go
I′ll make a living but where I don′t know
I'm just busted
