Marty Stuart - Branded lyrics

rate me

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
