Busted

BUSTED
 WRITER HARLAN HOWARD
 My bills are all due and the babies need shoes,
 But I'm Busted
 Cotton's gone down to a quarter a pound
 And I'm Busted
 I got a cow that's gone dry
 And a hen that won't lay
 A big stack of bills
 Getting bigger each day
 The county's gonna haul my belongings away,
 But I'm Busted
 So I called on my brother to ask for a loan
 'Cause I was Busted
 I hate to beg like a dog for a bone,
 But I'm Busted
 My brother said, "there's not 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,
 'Cause I'M Busted."

 Lord, I ain't no thief, but a man can go wrong,
 When he's Busted
 The food that we canned last summer is gone,
 But I'm Busted
 Now 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
