Faron Young - Busted Lyrics
(Harlan Howard)Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm bustedCotton is down to a quarter a pound but I'm bustedI got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't layA 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 bustedI hate to beg like a dog without a bone but I'm bustedMy brother said there ain't a thing I can doMy wife and my kids are all down with the fluAnd 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 bustedThe food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm bustedThe fields are all bare and the cotton won't growMe and my family's gotta pack up and goBut 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...
