[words by Billy Colpoys & Joe Mombrea; music by Joe Mombrea]
Well, I need to know if I can charge
my overdue payment on my credit card
cause I'm busted--I ain't got a dime.
Yeah I'm busted--I just need more time.
My ex-wife called me a deadbeat bum
My bookie says he's gonna twist my thumbs
til they're busted--and now he's gone too far,
Cause if my thumbs get busted, I can't play guitar!
Well, a good friend told my how to make some cash
Said "Get some reefer, and make a stash."
But I'll be lucky if I make my bail.
The police said I'm gonna rot in jail
I got busted! Ain't that a crime?
I got busted, and now I'm doing time.
Well the bill collectors are at my door.
I'm out here on the ledge up on the 13th floor
cause I'm busted--I ain't got a dime.
Lord, I'm busted--I just need more time.
Yeah I'm busted--I done did my time.
Well I'm busted--guess I'm out of time!
