Branded Lyrics

Well I�m branded, wherever I go
Trying to outrun a bad story everybody seems to know
Might as well be wearing a ball and chain
�Cause everywhere I travel, see my picture
With a number by my name

Spent some time in San Francisco
Locked up for vagrancy
I busted out a time or two, took a run at getting free
They put me back in the jailhouse, I finished serving my time
Turned me loose and the man said, �I�ll dog you to the end of the line�

Now I�m branded, wherever I go
Trying to outrun a bad story everybody seems to know
Might as well be wearing a ball and chain
�Cause everywhere I travel, see my picture
With a number by my name

The trouble with the truth
It always comes around
Seems to be there waiting for me, in every town
Well I�m guilty of the crime of trying to get back home
Don�t want to bother nobody
Just want to be left alone

But I�m branded, wherever I go
Trying to outrun a bad story everybody seems to know
Might as well be wearing a ball and chain
�Cause everywhere I travel, see my picture
With a number by my name
