Hey Patty Garrett that´s what I used to call you They tell me you want me but I hear they´ve got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver They paid you some money to sell them my blood
But you say this ain´t about me, this ain´t about you Or the good and the bad times we´ve both been through When the lines between brothers and justice have changed You do what you´ve got to cause you can´t walk away
I wonder what would have happened If you were the killer And I was the hero Would things be the same Or would I have traded
Your life for my own life Would I have paid Your debts in your place
But this ain´t about me, this ain´t about you Or the good and the bad times we´ve both been through When the lines between brothers and justice have changed You do what you´ve got to cause you can´t walk away
Blood money That´s what I call it ´Cause money for blood ain´t no fair exchange Blood money Bought and then sold you But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
