The Unforgiven

Lyrics

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
