lyrics

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

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

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
