Blood Money

Jon Bon Jovi

Hey Patty Garret 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 all been through

When the line's between brothers and justice has 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 and the bad times we've all both through

When the lines between brothers and justice has 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
