Lyrics

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've paid the debt I owed 'em
But they're still not satisfied
Now I'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'm livin'
The black mark follows me
I'm branded with a number on my name
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've paid the debt I owed 'em
But they're still not satisfied
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
If I live to be a hundred
I guess I'll never clear my name
'Cause everybody knows I've been in jail
No matter where I'm livin'
Got to tell 'em where I've been
Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail
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've paid the debt I owed 'em
But they're still not satisfied
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
