[00:00.00]Branded Man - Merle Haggard
[00:08.21]I'd like to hold my head up
[00:12.05]And be proud of who I am
[00:15.91]But they won't let my secret go untold
[00:24.11]I paid the debt I owed them
[00:28.06]But they're still not satisfied
[00:32.02]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
[00:39.93]When they let me out of prison
[00:44.40]I held my head up high
[00:48.34]Determined I would rise above the shame
[00:55.96]But no matter where I'm living
[01:00.29]The black mark follows me
[01:03.99]I'm branded with a number on my name
[01:11.79]I'd like to hold my head up
[01:15.65]And be proud of who I am
[01:19.74]But they won't let my secret go untold
[01:27.63]I payed the debt them
[01:31.47]But they're still not satisfied
[01:35.64]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
[01:51.31]If I live to be a hundred
[01:55.28]I guess I'll never clear my name
[01:59.31]Cause everybody knows I've been in jail
[02:07.24]No matter where I'm living
[02:11.18]I've got to tell them where I've been
[02:14.96]Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail
[02:22.95]I'd like to hold my head up
[02:26.81]And be proud of who I am
[02:30.66]But they won't let my secret go untold
[02:38.59]I paid the debt I owed them
[02:42.67]But they're still not satisfied
[02:46.64]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
[02:54.62]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
