Artist: nazareth
Song: busted
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes
And I'm busted
Cotton is down by 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
'Cause I'm busted
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 was busted
My brother said somethin', ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids, they're are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin' 'bout callin' on you
'Cause I'm busted
Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he's busted
The food that we canned for last summer is gone
I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just how I don't know
'Cause I'm busted
