그들이 추구하는 ‘Texican’ 사운드의 또 다른 영역을 개척했다는 평가를 획득하고 있는 2008년 세번째 스튜디오 앨범 [Forgiven]. 세명의 Garza 형제들은 라틴뮤직의 영향력을 본작에 투영하고 있지만 전작들보다 더욱 짙어진 스트레이트한 팝/록, 블루스적 성향의 연주를 들려주고 있다. 앨범 [Forgiven]에는 뉴 올리언스 키보드 레젼드 Dr. John이 참여 하였으며 John Mayer, Robert Cray의 앨범을 제작한 바 있는 프로듀서 Steve Jordan이 전체적인 조율을 하고 있다. 꿈결 같은 동명 타이틀 트랙을 비롯, 유쾌한 로맨틱송 ‘Staying with Me’, 헨리 가르조의 불꽃 같은 기타 사운드가 작렬하는 ‘You Can't See the Light’가 수록되어 있다. 형제 트리오의 끓어 오르는 듯한 라이브 열정을 내포하고 있으며 전체적으로 Lenny Kravitz 스타일의 음악을 보여주고 있는 ‘Heart Won't Tell a Lie’, ‘Make It Better’ 또한 눈여겨 볼 트랙이다. .... ....
I don't get around much like I used to I don't cry not unless I want to Might mean somethin' yeah
Might because I lost my baby Or it might be my mind, yeah
Well you might think That I'm talkin' crazy I might even believe its true Cause right my life's a little hazy I cant even put on my shoes My big girl think the world has gone crazy darling Or it might be my mind
[Chorus] Search your soul and you will find That your heart won't tell a lie
I cant lie even if I want to Cause my momma didn't raise no fool And I've seen what you been beleivin' And I know about the golden rule Not because I'ma dreamer baby Or it might be my mind, my mind
Take it away Take it away Take away these feelings cause it brings me down Cause I cant breathe Feels like I cant breathe Feels like this world is coming down on me
Oh can I been forgiven? For all I have done? Can you set me free Can you set me free Set me free from all this pain I've done to me
[Chorus] If you can hear me prayin' Then ill ask one more time Can you take it away Oh can I be forgiven? Can you take it away Help me change my ways of livin'
Oh can I be forgiven For all I have done No is there time for me Is there still time for me Time for me to change whatever I have left of me
If I told you I loved you would you walk away I'm not trying to fool you theres no playing games your tired of being alone tho I feel the same oh maybe falling in love will take away your pain
[Chorus] So I have to say (i have to say) That I really love you (i really love you) Don't be afraid (don't be afraid) I just wanna know (just wanna know) If your staying with me
O I can take you away to places out of this world all I need is the time of day to make your dreams for real take a chance on love I'm gonna do the same oh we're two hearts of a kind we're gonna have it made
[Chorus: x2]
Whoa don't go running away like you have before Oh all your wildest dreams are just beyond the door
[Chorus: x2]
Are you staying with me Stay with me baby Stay with me babe Stay with me baby Stay with me baby
Well my pad is very messing And there whiskers on my chin And all hung up on music And always play to win I ain't got no time for lovin' Cause my time is all used up Just sittin' and creatin' all that groovy kinda stuff
[Chorus: x2] I'ma a man and yes I am and I cant help but love you so
Well if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats All the crossing nano-tatter Moving when there I am a rat
I'm realizing to each other Thats how strong as I can be I'm resisting all involvement With every groovy chick I see
[Chorus: x2]
Well I got to keep my image While suspended from the throne Theres no superior kingdom Full of people all unknown Who imagine I'm not human And my heart is made of stone I ain't never had no problems And my problems trim when grown
I was livin' on my own Didn't know my right from wrong Then you came my way, yeah
When I looked into your eyes I saw paradise and I fell in love Together we were havin' fun In each others arms we felt like one It was just like a dream
Never really crossed my mind That there would ever come a time That you'd walk away
How'd we go wrong Tell me why I'm along I never really cared about love And love don't care about me Love don't care about me, no
Now I'm sittin' all alone Guess you wont be comin' home Oh it breaks my heart I don't want to say goodbye It'll only make me cry But what else can I do
How'd we go wrong Tell me why I'm along I never really cared about love No I never cared about love
I know that its over But I cant bring myself to face the back And I never cared about your love And now love don't care about me
I never really cared about love Now love don't care about me No love don't care about me
All along you played it rough You did me wrong Well I had enough, yeah yeah Cause every clue I didn't see From all the things you've done to me, yeah yeah
[Chorus] Why has it taken so long To see whats been happening to me This time around hey I'm gone Hey I'm gone
Your lyin' eyes were telling me The way you feel was all a disguise I cant believe I been a fool for loving you Way to damn long
[Chorus]
You better get ready for a stormy day Cause everything you love is about to wash away I'm not gonna let you just stand around and let you be So cruel to me
[Chorus]
You better get ready for a stormy day Cause everything you love is about to wash away I'm not gonna let you just stand around and let you be So cruel to me I'm not gonna let you just stand around and let you be So cruel to me, no
all of the things we do sometimes they don't seem right but don't let it get you down cause its gonna be alright
time can beat you down and bring you so much pain gettin' the best of us and taking away those sadly days, yeah
you cant see the light when your down you cant see the light when your down remember the ones you loved and keep them close to you when those times get tough they'll be there for you
world can break your pride and leave you feeling blue don't let it wast your time we're gonna make it through [Repeat: x2] its up to me and you
you cant see the light when your down you need to pick yourself up off the ground theres a way to turn our life around but you cant see the light when your down
across them waters through the sea of pain it will all come together at the end of the day everywhere you turn it seems as though you've given and even when you've tried its still so hard to give back don't ever lose your faith, it'll get you through the day
you cant see the light when your down you need to pick yourself up off the ground theres a way to turn our life around but you cant see the light when your down

Is it alright if I sing you guys a song I'ma do my best right here
Why she wants me I ask myself I know I'm not the best looking guy around
Or does she love me Well I guess so Cause she always says I'm here hero
She makes me stronger Well she does Oh I cant live without her love, no I stop me a freight train Fly like a jet plane Just so I can get to her
Shes my lady I'm thinking maybe I'ma gonna do what I can To show that I love her I really need her I wanna be her superman Cause shes my lady I'm thinking maybe I'ma gonna do what I can To show that I love her I really need her I wanna be her superman
For my baby I'm here man of steel I cant deny the way she makes me feel Oh I stop me a freight train Fly high like a jet plan Just so I can get to her Just so I can get to her
Shes my lady I'm thinking maybe I'ma gonna do what I can To show that I love her I really need her I wanna be her superman Cause shes my lady I'm thinking maybe I'ma gonna do what I can To show that I love her I really need her I wanna be her superman
Weird these days its kinda hard to love someone Ain't too funny honey when you just begun To trust somebody and you give it all away
[Chorus] There goes another broken heart Here comes another rainy day
I've seen it way to many times before A love make you wanna come back and hit the floor Crying and begging but don't matter what you say
[Chorus]
Give it some time is alright it'll go away Cause in due time you'll find theres another day I said another day, yeah
I'm not tryin' to tell you people what to do I'm singin' you story about the things that I've been through I know the feeling when love walks away
[Chorus]
Give it some time is alright it'll go away Cause in due time you'll find theres another day I said another day, yeah
A broken heart streaming Rainy days are in So just keep trying don't give up Here comes a sunny day A brighter and better way Here comes a sunny day A brighter and better way To live and love [Repeat: x5]
I can't believe where I'm at today. Lord, I'm glad to be alive. It's been so long since I felt this strong. Nothin's gonna get me down.
Say what you want. Do what you will. But, that won't change the way I feel.
How can you see if there's good in me If you never even try? Give me some time; I might change your mind. But if I don't, well, that's alright.
Say what you want. Do what you will. But, that won't change the way I feel... The way I feel. But, that won't change the way I feel.
Oh, I can't save the world, but I'm gonna try. Don't you want to change this world? Oh, we're runnin' out of time!
Say what you want. Do what you will. But, that won't change the way I... But, that won't change the way I... Say what you want. Do what you will. But, that won't change the way I feel.
