Busted Lyrics - Country Charley Pride/pride Of Country Music - Charley Pride

The bills are all due and my baby need shoes but I'm busted 

Cotton is down to a quarter a pound but I'm busted 

I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay 

A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day 

The county will haul my belongings away I'm busted 

I called brother Bill to get me a loan I was busted 

For I hate to beg like a dog for a bone but I'm busted 

But Bill said that there ain't a thing I can do 

My wife and my kids're all down with the flu 

And I was just thinking of calling on you I'm busted 

[ fiddle ] 

Now Lord I'm no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted 

The food that we canned last summer is gone I'm busted 

The fields're all bare and the cotton won't grow 

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

But I'll make a living the Lord only knows I'm busted
