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 blood
But you say, this ain't about me and 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 gotta cause you can't walk away
Wonder what would of 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 ? I don't know
But this ain't about me and 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 gotta 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 and then sold you But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
