Busted Finger Blues Lyrics by Smokin’ D

Lowered Expectations

0

[Verse]
It was the 4th day of July, in good old Carolina
Some friends came up to help light up the sky
The wife had cooked some dinner, kids played with a fidget spinner
While we waited for day to leave for the night
As this story unfolds, there’s a lot you must be told
So I'll do my best to help keep you amused
So sit back and take a drink, while I tell you what I think
Of how I got the busted finger blues
[Chorus]
I got the busted finger blues
Yow! I got the buster finger blues
[Verse]
I had snuck down to the basement, with happiness in my pocket
I was planning on lighting one on my own
So I hid behind the curtains, slid that glass door open
Looked around and made sure I was alone
A cloud of frustrations, had blown up to the sky
I was ready to make some fireworks do the same
But when I tried to shut that door, it jammed and here’s what’s more
I slammed it hard but my finger wasn’t game
I yelled out once or twice, some words that were not so nice
Blood squirting on my shirt and shorts and shoes
My finger throbbed in pain, as I wondered quite in vain
How I gave myself the busted finger blues
[Chorus]
I got the busted finger blues
Yow! I got the buster finger blues
The busted finger blues
I got those busted finger blues
Ow
Oh no
[Verse]
Even worse than all that pain, were thoughts running through my brain
I couldn’t play my guitar for several weeks
It left me quite bewildered, I was supposed to open for David Childers
The next month at Ole Dallas Brewery
It’s such a sorry feeling, to wait for all that healing
To pay off all your self-inflicted dues
So I leave you this suggestion, don’t shut your fingers in doors
Don’t give yourself the busted finger blues
[Chorus]
I got the busted finger blues
Yow! I got the buster finger blues
Busted finger blues
I got those busted finger blues
