[00:00.00]Karaoke - Branded Man - Merle Haggard
[00:07.59]I'd like to hold my head up
[00:11.79]and be proud of who I am
[00:15.78]but they won't let my secret go untold.
[00:23.77]I paid the debt I owed them
[00:27.77]but they're still not satisfied
[00:31.87]now I'm a branded man out in the cold.
[00:39.84]When they let me out of prison
[00:44.10]I held my head up high
[00:48.13]Determined I would rise above the shame.
[00:55.68]But no matter where I'm living
[00:59.58]the black mark follows me.
[01:03.86]I'm branded with a number on my name.

[01:31.90]but they're still not satisfied

[01:51.81]If I live to be a hundred
[01:55.74]I guess I'll never clear my name
[02:00.02]cause everybody knows I've been in jail.
[02:07.89]No matter where I'm living
[02:11.74]I've got to tell them where I've been
[02:15.75]or they'll send me back to prison if I fail.
[02:23.73]I'd like to hold my head up
[02:28.02]and be proud of who I am
[02:31.97]but they won't let my secret go untold.
[02:39.97]I paid the debt I owed them
[02:43.99]but they're still not satisfied
[02:48.04]Now I'm a branded man out in the cold.
