Lyrics Busted - Live - Willie Nelson

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
Get all 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

Well, I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cause I was busted
Well, I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted
Well, 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' 'bout callin' on you, know I'm busted

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 livin' just where I don't know 'cause I'm busted
