Branded Man

Id like to hold my head up and be proud of who
I am But they wont let my secret go untold
I paid the debt
I owed em 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
Im living a black mark follows me
Im branded with a number on my name [ guitar ]
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
I got to tell em where
I been Or theyll send me back to prison if
I fail Id like to hold my head up...
Now Im a branded man out in the cold
