Karaoke Track: Branded Man by Merle Haggard (Sunfly)

BRANDED

I&#39;d like to hold
my head up

and be proud
of who I am

But they won&#39;t

let my secret
go untold

I paid the debt
I owed them

but they&#39;re still
not satisfied

Now I&#39;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&#39;m branded

with a number
on my name

I&#39;d like to hold
my head up

and be proud
of who I am

But they won&#39;t

let my secret
go untold

I paid the debt
I owed them

but they&#39;re still
not satisfied

Now I&#39;m a branded man

out in the cold

If I live to he
a hundred

lguessl1lnever
clear my name

&#39;Cause everybody knows

I&#39;ve been in jail

No matter
where I&#39;m living

I&#39;ve got to tell them
where I&#39;ve been

0r they&#39;ll send me

back to prison
if I fail

I&#39;d like to hold
my head up

and be proud
of who I am

But they won&#39;t

let my secret
go untold

I paid the debt
I owed them

but they&#39;re still
not satisfied

Now I&#39;m a branded man

out in the cold
