branded man

Id like to hold my head up and be proud of who
I amBut they wont let my secret go untold
I paid the debt
I owed them, but theyre still not satisfied
Now Im 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
Id traveled , the black mark follows me
Im branded with a number on my name
Id like to hold my head up and be proud of who
I amBut they wont let my secret go untold
I payed the debt them but theyre still not satisfied
Now Im a branded man out in the cold
If I live to be a hundred,
I guess Ill never clear my name
Cause everybody knows
Ive been in jail
No matter where
Im living,
Ive got to tell them where
Ive beenOr theyll send me back to prison if
I failId like to hold my head up and be proud of who
I amBut they wont let my secret go untold
I paid the debt
I owed them, but theyre still not satisfied
Now Im a branded man out in the cold
Now Im a branded man out in the cold
