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 them, 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'd traveled, the black mark follows me |
|
I'm branded with a number on my name |
|
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 payed the debt them but they're still not satisfied |
|
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold |
|
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've got to tell them where I've been |
|
Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail |
|
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 them, but they're still not satisfied |
|
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold |
|
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold |
