Lyrics Chris LeDoux

Chris LeDoux

Busted

All the 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

Got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day

The county's gonna haul my belongings away

And I'm busted

Well I went to brother Bill to get me a loan

I was busted

But I hate to beg like a dog for a bone

I'm busted

Brother Bill said you know there's not a thing I can do

My wife and my kids are all down with the flu

And I was just thinkin' on callin' on you

'Cause I'm busted

Lord I'm no thief but a man can go wrong

When he's busted

The food that we canned last summer's all gone

And I'm busted

All the fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow

Me and my family's got to pack up and go

Where I'll make a livin' the Lord only knows

I'm busted

All the 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

Got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay

A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day

The county's gonna haul my belongings away

And I'm busted
