[00:00.00]Branded Man - Merle Haggard
[00:08.48]I'd like to hold my head up
[00:12.33]And be proud of who I am
[00:16.36]But they won't let my secret go untold
[00:24.37]I paid the debt I owed them
[00:28.69]But they're still not satisfied
[00:32.35]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
[00:40.27]When they let me out of prison
[00:44.49]I held my head up high
[00:48.57]Determined I would rise above the shame
[00:56.06]But no matter where I'm living
[01:00.57]The black mark follows me
[01:04.29]I'm branded with a number on my name
[01:12.10]I'd like to hold my head up
[01:15.96]And be proud of who I am
[01:20.03]But they won't let my secret go untold
[01:27.81]I payed the debt them
[01:31.84]But they're still not satisfied
[01:35.88]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
[01:51.53]If I live to be a hundred
[01:55.53]I guess I'll never clear my name
[01:59.61]Cause everybody knows I've been in jail
[02:07.31]No matter where I'm living
[02:11.46]I've got to tell them where I've been
[02:15.21]Or they'll send me back to prison if I fail
[02:23.33]I'd like to hold my head up
[02:27.06]And be proud of who I am
[02:31.10]But they won't let my secret go untold
[02:39.05]I paid the debt I owed them
[02:42.84]But they're still not satisfied
[02:46.86]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
[02:54.71]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
