Busted - John Conlee (karaoke)

Confessions

Well, my bills are all due and the baby needs 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 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 called up my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
Now I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I was busted
My brother said, "There ain't a thing I can do
My wife and the kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin's 'bout callin' on you
Cause I'm busted

Now I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and we're busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family's gotta pack up and go
I'll make a livin', just where I don't know
Cause I'm busted
