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 ivy 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 you hear'em 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 you hear'em 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 hear'em 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
