Busted Lyrics

Artist: Waylon Jennings (Buy Waylon Jennings CDs)
Album: Sings Ol' Harlan

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted
Cotton is 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 gettin' bigger each day
The county will haul my belongings away cause I'm busted
I went to see my brother gonna ask him for a loan I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted
My brother said there ain't one thing I can do
Wife and the kids they're all down with the flu
I was just thinking about calling on you cause I'm busted
[ guitar ]
I ain't 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
I'll make a living but where I don't I'm just busted
