Branded Man
In the style of
Lyrics
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 travel
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 paid the debt
i owed 'em 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 livin' i got to
tell 'em
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 'em 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
