The Story Behind Someone's Busted
So I posted the lyrics for "Someone's Busted" several months ago. At the time, I didn't post the story behind the song, I just thanked the ... well... slut... for the inspiration. So I figured that I should probably explain the details of that night.
On a cold friday night, my buddy and I headed up to 8 Second Saloon in Indianapolis for a Colt Ford show. When we got up there, we discovered that all the tables in the reserved section had been moved, leaving the dance floor open....translation: over the period of the evening, I could make my way to the front of the front of the stage. Well, I quickly became...intoxicated, and started dancing to the opening band. I was unable to sneak closer to the stage though, due to the fact that there were a couple of frat brats and hoes grinding on eachother. Needless to say, in order to avoid contracting any STDs, I kept my distance. I mean, they were getting NASTY! There was one gal in particular who was raunchier than the rest. She had this one younger guy in her cross-hairs and was going to stop at nothing. So I stood there with Lanky, making fun of them. Then I turned to the old guy and we started making fun of them. There's a line between seductive and....white trash hoe. This gal crossed that line all night long. So I rolled my eyes and chugged another beer, waiting for Colt Ford to take the stage. I must say, he put on an amazing show. I wasn't a huge Colt Ford fan going into the night, but I left singing "Chicken and Biscuits". As I proceeded to flirt with the bass player, I noticed that the hoe and the young guy were getting...closer. At one point, they were even making out. But then....oh but then the most entertaining event of the evening began. All of a sudden this random guy is shouting at the top of his lungs at the gal. Of course, this caught everyone's attention. It was then that I noticed that this gal wasn't as young as she initially looked. So...intrigued, I wondered why they were fighting in the middle of the dance floor. And he laid into her. I mean he called her every name in the book and ripped her apart. The young guy had a look of pure shock on his face and his friends began backing away. The couple screamed at eachother for a few minutes before she broke down in tears with the whole "I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything by it"...and so on. The screaming guy left and her friends helped her off the dance floor. I just couldn't help myself. I leaned over and asked one of the young guy's buddies "was that her boyfriend?"
"Nope, that's her husband"
"Did she tell your friend she was married?"
"Nope, she told him he was getting laid tonight"
.... And I thought to myself, that would make a great song. I mean, there are hundreds of songs about husbands cheating, and wives getting their revenge. But I found that this role reversal was worthy of a tune. So, Someone's Busted was born. I initially thought about pitching it to Layton, but then decided that it would be more entertaining coming from a woman. It took me a while, but I put it to music and it has now become the most well-recieved song in my "set". No matter where I play, it always gets a couple of cheers. And it's a fun one to play. So thank you Colt Ford for putting on a great show! Thank you Lanky for the tickets! Thank you bass player for the tour pick! And thank you drunk bitch for a great song!
