Busted
by Johnny Cash
My bills are all due and the babies need shoes, but I'm busted. Cotton
is down to a quarter a pound, and 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 will haul my belongings away, 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 the kids
are all down with the flu, and I was just thinkin of callin on you, I'm
busted.
