George Jones Busted Lyrics

Busted Lyrics

My bills are all due

And the baby need shoes

And I'm busted



Cotton is down

To a quarter a pound

I'm busted



I got a cow that went dry

And a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills

That get 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's ain't a thing I can do

My wife and my kids

Are all down with the flu"



"I was just thinkin'

'Bout callin' on you

I'm busted"



[Incomprehensible]



Well, I am 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



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 how, I don't know

'Cause I'm busted



I'm broke, no bread

I [Incomprehensible] to buy nothing man
