Karaoké Busted Ray Charles

My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes but I'm busted

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

I 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 'cos I'm busted

I went to my brother to ask for a loan 'cos I was busted

I hate to beg like a dog without a bone but I'm busted

My brother said

There ain't 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 and I'm busted

Well I am no thief but a man can go wrong when he's busted

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

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

Me and my family got to pack up and go

But I'll make a livin' just where I don't know 'cos I'm busted

I'm broke

No bread

I mean like nothin'

Forget it

It's over
