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 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 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

Debts in your place?

I don't know

But 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 money

Bought and then sold you

But your conscience is all you can take to your grave
