Lyrics
Branded Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 un 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,the black mark follows me
I'm branded with a number on my name
Repeat verse 1
If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name
'Cause everybody knows I've been in jai
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
Repeat verse 1
Now I'm a branded man out un the cold
