Thomas jefferson, he had slaves
in the land of the free and the home of the brave
i read about him in the seventh grade
he's forgiven
Jfk he loved to run around
he and norma jean painted that town
but we know him as a hero now
he's forgiven
(chorus)
baby i know i did you wrong
thats why i'm here, thats why you're gone
i don't know just what i've done
to be one of the unforgiven
I had an uncle, he dodged the draft
they said step forward and he stepped back
but we all cut him some slack
he's forgiven
Judas betrayed the christ with a kiss
cartel kings get a slap on the wrist
jesse james and billy the kid
they're all forgiven
(repeat chorus|solo)
i've made mistakes, thats what life is
but there ain't a thing i can't live with
and even though you can't forgive
you're forgiven
