I'm Not Broke But I'm Badly Bent

1 4 1

I’m goin’ back to the country I can’t pay the rent

4 1

Though I’m not completely broke brother I’m badly bent

4 1

I can’t understand where my money went

5 1

Well I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent

Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city I went

I met too many good looking girls and that’s where my money went

Yeah I know just where it went

Well I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent

When I get back to the country I’ll be livin’ in a tent

Ma and Pa will sure be mad about all the money I spent

I can’t understand just where it went

Well I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent

Yeah I know just where it went

Well I ain’t broke, but brother I’m badly bent
