Lyrics:

I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I amBut they won't let my secret go untoldI paid the debt I owed them,but they're still not satisfiedNow I'm a branded man out un the coldWhen they let me out of prison,I held my head up highDetermined I would rise above the shameBut no matter where I'm living,the black mark follows meI'm branded with a number on my nameRepeat verse 1If I live to be a hundred,I guess I'll never clear my name'Cause everybody knows I've been in jaiNo matter where I'm living,I've got to tell them where I've beenOr they'll send me back to prison if I failRepeat verse 1Now I'm a branded man out un the cold
