Busted

歌詞

Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted Cotton is down to a quarter a pound but 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 gonna haul my belongings away and I'm busted. Now, 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 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' about calling on you and I'm busted. Well, I am 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 The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow Me and my family's gotta pack up and go But I'll make a living just where I don't know 'cause I'm busted. Lord, I'm broke, ain't got no biscuits in this house...
