Two Weeks From Twenty |
Jimmy wasn’t really popular |
He had a couple of friends back home |
And sooner or later they’re all getting out so he had to join up alone |
He was dreaming of the ivory league since he was only three feet tall |
And get the hell out of jersey and then he would never look back at all |
And then your heroes say |
That miles away |
We lost another one that we sent with a gun |
They’re gonna miss him he was two weeks from twenty and there’s still no shame |
From the man to blame |
Jimmy never had a reason to stay |
Cos all the factories shut down |
All he had was a line for his name |
So he could sign away his right to be proud |
He tried to kiss her on the way out the door, |
She just put her little hand on his face |
I don’t understand why you’re leaving, she said |
But I hope your gonna ask me to wait |
And then your heroes say |
That miles away |
We lost another one that we sent with a gun |
His lady missed him, he was two weeks from twenty and there’s still no shame |
From the man to blame |
Jimmy’s mother went to Capitol Hill |
So she could fill her heart up with joy |
Maybe shake a few hands while she’s there and tell them thank you sir for |
taking my boy. |
And then your heroes say |
That miles away |
We lost another one that we sent with a gun |
His mama missed him he was two weeks from twenty and there’s still no shame |
From the man to blame |
No there’s still no shame |
And we’re all to blame |
We’re all to blame |
We’re all to blame |
We’re all to blame |
We’re all to blame |
