Lyrics

I?m busted and I?m broke

Well last night we got into another fight
I thought I?d have to drive out of sight
But I didn?t drive very far
I drove t?ill I saw the first neon sign
That said hey you it?s Miller time
So I stopped at the nearest bar

Well the Whiskey was going down faster than the beer
I thought to myself, I?ll just stay right here
Well I had some and then I had some more
I lost my footing and I hit the floor
When I tried to make it to the door

Got in my car and headed home
When I got on the highway, I wasn?t alone
Looked in my rearview mirror, red, white and blue
The best thing for me was to pull over
So I stopped the car right on the shoulder
Cuz if not I was sleeping at the Zoo

(chorus) I?m busted and I?m broke
My car?s going to the pound
I?ll be sleeping in the drunk tank
My wife?s nowhere to be found
My kids they all dropped out of school
Me, I?m just a big old fool
Life sure has its up?s and down?s

He got out of his car, flashlight in his hand
Talking to some people on the citizens band
I heard him say would you please run a make for me
894-652, It?s a beat up Ford and the colors blue
We?re up on highway 93

He came to me said would you pass this test
I said officer I?ll do my best
He said, would you please blow in this machine
I blew so hard and I blew so fast
And I knew by far that I would not pass
The lights turned every color but green

Chorus

He took me in, I didn?t put up a fight
Said this is where you?re gonna spend the night
So I went down to my knees
I said officer would you give me a chance
I swear this is never gonna happen again
Now may I make my phone call please?

6 AM, wake up time
Breakfast served, what a way to dine
Just a few more hours in this place
He gave me my things and said get out of here
And a piece of advice lay off the beer
Try not to fall back on your face

(Last chorus) I was busted, I?m still broke
But my car?s out of the pound
Last night I slept in a drunk tank
But tonight I?m sticking around
I?ll try to put my kids back in school
And try not to be such a dam old fool
Life sure has its up?s and down?s
