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 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 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 Baby I know I did you wrong... [ guitar ] 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 [ guitar - steel ]
