Busted Songtext
von Johnny Cash

My bills are all due and the babies need shoes,
But I′m Busted
Cotton's gone 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′s gonna haul my belongings away,
But I′m Busted

So I called on 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's not 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."
