[D]Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm [A]busted


Cotton is down to a quarter a pound and I'm [D]busted


I got a cow that's gone dry a hen that won't lay


A [G]big stack of bills that get bigger each day


The [A]county's gonna haul my belongings away


Cause I'm [D]busted


I called up my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted


Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I was busted


My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do


My wife and the kids are all down with the flu


And I was just thinkin's 'bout callin' on you


Cause I'm busted


Lead solo


Now I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted


The food that we canned last summer is gone and we're busted


The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow


Me and my family's gotta pack up and go


I'll make a livin', just where I don't know


Cause I'm busted
