Lyrics Busted - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA (1st Show) - January 1968 - 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's gone dry
And a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills
Getting 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 my kids
Are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin' of callin' on you
I'm busted"
