Busted (Live)

Busted (Live) - Willie Nelson/Wynton Marsalis

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes

But I'm busted

Cotton is down quarter a pound but I'm busted

I got cow that went dry hen that won't lay

Big stack of bills gettin' bigger each day

County's gonna haul my name

Know that I went and I'm busted

But I went to my brother to ask for a loan

'Cause I was busted

But I hate to beg like a dog for a bone

But I'm busted

But my brother said

"There ain't a thing I can do

My wife and my kids are all down with the flu

I was just thinking about calling on you

'Cause I'm busted"

And 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

Well the fields are all bare

And the cotton won't grow

And my family

And I had to pack up and go

I'll make a living my Lord

How I don't know 'cause I'm busted
