Lost my money
lost my honey
think i reached the end of the line
I been hurt and worse
treated just like dirt
that woman sure can mess up my mind
woke up in a hotel
head was comin off
really hit the bottle this time

I been drinkin
I got stinkin
think I better change my way
I been up and down
lost and found
think I see a brighter day
I may be busted now
but I'll fight back some how
then you're gonna hear me say

busted blues busted blues
gotta find a way to lose
busted blues, busted blues
gotta find a way to choose
between the life I led
and dyin in bed
with a bottle and these busted blues
