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

J.F.K, he loved to run around
He and Norma Jean painted that town
But we know him as a hero now
He's forgiven

Baby, I know I did you wrong
That's why I'm here, that's why you're gone
Well, 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
[From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
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

Baby, I know I did you wrong
That's why I'm here, that's why you're gone
Well, I don't know just what I've done
To be one of the unforgiven

I've made mistakes, that's what life is
But there ain't a thing I can't live with
And even though you can't forgive
You're forgiven
