Busted Songtext
von Faron Young

Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes
And I′m busted
Cotton is down to a quarter 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 get bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
And I'm busted


Well, I went to my brother to ask him for a loan
′Cause I was busted (Busted)
I had to beg like a dog for a bone
But I′m busted (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 callin' 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
Well, the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family gotta pack up and go
But I'll make a livin′, just where, I don′t know
'Cause I′m busted (Busted)
