The Unforgiven

Well, I was down in my old neighborhood
Where the wood, it turned to stone
And the place, mmm, that I used to live
Is now a savings and loan

My friends and I would walk the shadows
We dance in dead end streets
We were the human chain gang
We were destined for defeat

We were
Always the unforgiven
Always the unfortunate ones
Always the unforgiven
But someday we're gonna face the sun
That's right

Jimmy, oh, he had a natural gift
The way he handled a glove
And Billy, oh, he could sing a tune
Make you fall in love
And Judy made her own clothing
And Sally drew a vein
But what was not God-given
Was washed out with the rain

We were
Always the unforgiven
Always the unfortunate ones
Always the unforgiven
Someday we're gonna face that sun

Those poor little rich kids
With their tarnished silver spoons
They come uptown on Friday nights
They'd try to play our tunes
They couldn't steal our thunder, no
They didn't have a chance
We were much too serious
We were moving way too fast, whoa

The unforgiven

And Daddy
He'd be gone for weeks
But sometimes he come around
And tell me the places he'd been
But never where he was bound
Yeah

Always the unforgiven
Always the unfortunate ones
Always the unforgiven
Someday we're gonna face that sun

The unforgiven
The unforgiven
Someday we're gonna face that sun
The unforgiven
The unforgiven
Always the unfortunate ones

Someday we're gonna face that sun
