| Lyrics |
Hey Patty Garret that
` s what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they ´ ve got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my blood
But you say this ain ´ t about me, this ain ´ t about you
Or the good and the bad times we ´ ve both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you ´ ve got to cause can ´ t walk away
I wonder what would have happened
If you were the killer
And I was the hero
Would things be the same
Or would I have traded
Your life for my own life
Would I have paid
Your debts in your place
But you say this ain ´ t about me, this ain ´ t about you
Or the good and the bad times we ´ ve both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you ´ ve got to cause can ´ t walk away
Blood money
That ´s what I call it
´ Cause money for blood ain ´ t no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
