Johnny Cash - Busted lyrics

[Johnny Cash - Busted lyrics]

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 going to haul
My belongings away but I'm Busted
So I called on my brother to ask for a loan
Because 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 thinking about calling on you
Because I'm Busted lord, I am not 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 got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just where
I don't know because I'm Busted
