Badly Bent

The Tractors · Other Songs - The Tractors

I'm goin' back to the country

'Cause I can't pay my rent

I may not be completely broke

But brother I'm badly bent

I don't understand

Where the money went

I'm not broke

But I'm badly bent

They warned me about the city

About the city life

But I thought I knew everything

I took no one's advice

Now I don't know where

All the money went

I might not be broke

But I'm badly bent

I am just a country boy

Tryin' to make some sense

But I'd like to ask the congress

I'd like to ask the president

Can you tell me where

All the money went

We might not be broke

But we're badly bent

Between the telephone, gas and electric bills

Car payment and the rent

Give it everything I got

Can't seem to make a dent

I don't understand

Where the money went

I'm not broke

But I'm badly bent

Can you tell my where

All the money went

I might not be broke

But I'm badly bent
