"My Give a Damn's Busted" is the title of a song, co-written by American country music artist Joe Diffie along with Tom Shapiro and Tony Martin. Diffie originally recorded the song on his 2001 album In Another World.[1] The song was later recorded by Jo Dee Messina for her 2005 album Delicious Surprise. Released in early 2005, Messina's version went on to spend two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts that year, and her first chart single since "I Wish" in late 2003-early 2004. Canadian country music singer Michelle Wright included her version of the song on her 2006 album Everything and More.
The song appears in the game Karaoke Revolution Country.
A music video was released for the song, directed by Peter Zavadil. The video took place in the middle of a big city street, with Messina performing with her band behind her. Also included, are scenes of her walking down a sidewalk while being followed by a persistent man, who she directs the spoken lines of the song towards.
