(Harlan Howard)
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I`m busted
Cotton is down to 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; I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone, but I`m busted
My brother said, There ain`t a thing I can do.
My wife and kids are all down with the flu,
Yeah, I`m busted...
PIANO SOLO; REPEAT FIRST VERSE
I`m busted...
