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      Chorus:   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    Your debts in your place      Chorus      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
