Blood Money
Hey Patty Garrett 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 soul
But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good & the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers & justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you 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 this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good & the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers & justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
Blood money
That's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought & then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
