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
