Branded Man

　　Branded Man - Vince Gill&Paul Franklin

　　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 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'd traveled

　　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 payed the debt them 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 living

　　I've got to tell them 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 paid the debt I owed them

　　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
