I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who |
|
I am But they won't let my secret go untold |
|
I paid the debt |
|
I owed 'em but they're still not satisfied |
|
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold |
|
When they let me out of prison |
|
I held my head up high |
|
Determined |
|
I would rise above the shame |
|
But no matter where |
|
I'm living a black mark follows me |
|
I'm branded with a number on my name [ guitar ] |
|
If I live to be a hundred |
|
I guess I'll never clear my name |
|
Cause everybody knows |
|
I've been in jail |
|
No matter where |
|
I'm living |
|
I got to tell 'em where |
|
I been Or they'll send me back to prison if |
|
I fail I'd like to hold my head up... |
|
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold |
