It was Ricky Skaggs. I thought it was on a JD Crowe and the New South album, but I just looked at the ones I have and it's not on there. But the singer was definitely Skaggs.

"I'm going back to the country I can't pay no rent, I may not be exactly broke but brother I'm badly bent, I can't understand where my money went, I ain't broke but I'm badly bent."

If I can remember what record the song was on I'll write back.
