Bent Broke And Busted-A Blues Song
~opening music~
~first stanza~
I am bent and broken
they have taken every bit
I’ve tried too many times now
I just can’t live with it.
~second stanza~
My lover left me flat
found her sleeping with my friend
the blues they cut me deep
it never seems to end.
~nice blues guitar~
~chorus~
Bent broke and busted
no money in the bank
no one left to love me
only me to thank.
~huge guitar solo/break~
~third stanza~
I’m looking to be found
but finding I’m just lost
aware of how I failed
and just how much it cost.
~music rally~
~chorus~
Bent broke and busted
no money in the bank
no one left to love me
only me to thank.
Bent broke and busted…
Bent broke and busted…
~fade out~

If you write blues music and want to work on my song with me please contact me. Maybe we can do something with this?
Tweaked and shared with dVerse~Poets Pub.
Bent, broke, and busted….wonderful refrain. It was a pleasure to read this. alas I am as musical as a car but that’s how it goes.

The lyrics seem simple but not easy to make it smoothly effective. You did a great song here, Bekkie!

LOVE it, Bekkie…and what a great title! I know what you mean about trying to keep up with Mr. Linky…so glad you linked it up for OLN. You definitely have a musical ear. I could dabble around with this on my acoustic just for fun but a more talented musician just might have the perfect tune for it. 🙂

Wish, I could help you, Bekkie, but am, a Goth girl, myself. For me, I would have written it darker, but that’s my taste, in music

The refrain is most effective… bent broke, so very good with a blues theme.
