Willie Nelson - Busted Lyrics

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes
And 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
And the county's gonna haul my belongings away
'Cause I'm busted

I went to 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 ain't 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"

But I ain't no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he's busted
And the food that we canned last summer is gone
And I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family's got to pack up and go
How I'll make a living, Lord, I just where I don't know
'Cause I'm busted

I'm busted
Ain't got no money
Can you loan me a quarter?
