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
