Well, I was down in my old neighborhood Where the wood turned to stone And the place 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 Someday we gonna face the sun That’s right
Jimmy he had a natural gift The way he handled a glove And Billy he could sing a tune Make you fall in love And Judy made her own clothing And Sally drew a vein 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 gonna face the sun
Those poor little rich kids With their tarnished 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 away too fast
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 gonna face the sun
The unforgiven The unforgiven Someday we gonna face the sun The unforgiven The unforgiven Always the unfortunate ones Someday we gonna face the sun
