"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

Whatever happened riding hard on the ???
Whatever happened to us in the end
I called you amigo I called you my brother
And Patty Garret I called you my friend

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 you can't walk away

Once I thought nothing would come in between us
Once I thought honor and blood were the same
Whoever thought we'd let the cruel world defeat us
Whoever thought that those feelings would change

(Oh, Patty I don't know)
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 you can't walk away

Blood money
That's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood moneyBought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave

One time I had a dream and in the dream was a coffin
Could not see the body I could not see his face
When I saw noone crying and I saw no forgiveness
I knew the name Bonney would be marked on that grave

Blood money
Bought and then sold you
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
That's what I call it
And Patty Garret can't take to your grave

But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
