about

Ever have a day where you just felt like you'd reached the end of the line? Sure you have. One more jerk, one more problem, one more anything, and they'd be reading about you in the papers, with people saying things like "He was such a quiet man. A nice guy. Who would have thought he would..." (this applies just as much, if not more, to women.) Play this one loud the next time you get pissed off, and sing along. People will move away from you, which can be a very good thing.

lyrics

I've been working since,
I don't know when
Seems like trouble's all there's
Ever been
Now I'm busted
Baby, dropping like a stone
Well I've had enough
Better leave the boy alone

I been drivin' since the
Break of day
Seems like everybody
In my way
Now I'm busted
Baby, dropping like a stone
Well I've had enough
Better leave the boy alone

Losing everything I
Got to lose
Losing everything but these
Low down blues
Now I'm busted
Baby, dropping like a stone
Well I've had enough
Better leave the boy alone

You keep talkin' and I'll
Do you right
Lonesome graveyard be your
Bed tonight
Now I'm busted
Baby, dropping like a stone
Well I've had enough
Better leave the boy alone

Well I'm leaving when that
Sun goes down
They'll be looking for me
All over town
Now I'm busted
Baby, dropping like a stone
Well I've had enough
Better leave the boy alone
