Well, I'm branded, wherever I go
Trying to out run 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 jail house, 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
In the Know
