Two Weeks From Twenty

歌詞

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
