BLOOD MONEY
J. Bon Jovi, alternate lyrics, as sung on Rockline--August 1990

Hey Patty Garrett, that�s what I used to call you.
They tell me you want me, but I hear they�ve got you.
Made you a lawman with your badge made of silver,
Paid you some money to sell them my blood.

What ever happened to ridin� hard on the southwind?
What ever happened to us in the end?
I called you amigo. I called you my brother, and Patty Garrett, I
called you my friend.

(But you see) 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 gotta, �cause you can�t walk away

Once I thought nothing would come in between us
Once I thought honor and blood were the same
Who ever thought we�d let a cruel world defeat us?
Who ever thought that those feelings would change?

Oh Patty, I don�t know

Cause, 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 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

Once I had a dream and in that dream was a coffin.
I could not see the body, I could not see his face.
When I saw no one crying and I saw no forgiveness,
I knew the name Bonnie would be marked on that grave.

Blood money, bought and then sold you.
�Cause money for blood it ain�t no fair exchange
Blood money, that�s what I call it
But Patty, you can�t take it to your grave
