[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
JFK, he loved to run around
He and Norma Jean, paintin' that town
But we know him as a hero now
He's forgiven

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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Baby, I know I did you wrong
That's why I'm here, that's why you're gone
I don't know just what I've done
To be one of the unforgiven

[Outro]
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
