She ran away from home, just-a 15 years old
Headed for the city where innocence is sold
Headed for the wrong crowds, the company of fools
Could only chase those promises, got no time to lose

She's just a little misunderstood
Why did they have to turn their backs on you? Oh no no

Judas my brother, she's been good to you, good to you
Judas my brother, why did they have to turn their backs on you?
Judas my brother
Yeah Come on

Your momma, she's been drinking, and dad is no better, too
Spending all their money, neglecting you
They treat you like a prisoner, like yesterday's news
Could only chase those promises, got no time to lose

She's just a little misunderstood, yeah
Why did they have to turn their backs on you? Oh no no

Judas my brother, she's been good to you, good to you
Judas my brother, why did they have to turn their backs on you?
Judas my brother

She's just a little misunderstood, yeah
Why did they have to turn their backs on you? Oh no no

Judas my brother, she's been good to you, good to you
Judas my brother, why did they have to turn their backs on you?
Judas my brother, she's been good to you, oh no
I said Judas, Judas my brother,
why did they have to turn their backs on you?
Judas my brother, my brother, yeah

Judas my brother
Turn their backs on you, baby
Headed for the city

Turn their backs, turn their backs
Don't walk away, only meant to stay
Don't you turn your backs
