Jimmy wasn't really popular |
[00:24.04] |
He had a couple of friends back home |
[00:28.91] |
And sooner or later they're all getting out |
[00:32.10] |
So he had to join up alone |
[00:35.50] |
He was dreaming of the Ivy League |
[00:38.44] |
Since he was only three feet tall |
[00:43.28] |
And get the hell out of Jersey |
[00:45.75] |
And then he would never look back at all |
[00:50.58] |
And then your hear 'em say that miles away |
[00:55.25] |
We lost another one that we sent with a gun |
[00:59.95] |
They're gonna miss him he was |
[01:02.02] |
Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame |
[01:07.56] |
From the man to blame |
[01:12.71] |
Jimmy never had a reason to stay |
[01:15.70] |
'Cos all the factories shut down |
[01:20.56] |
All he had was a line for his name |
[01:23.82] |
So he could sign away his right to be proud |
[01:26.95] |
He tried to kiss her on the way out the door |
[01:29.89] |
She just put her little hand on his face |
[01:34.76] |
"I don't understand why you're leaving", she said |
[01:38.01] |
"But I hope you're gonna ask me to wait" |
[01:42.20] |
And then your hear 'em say that miles away |
[01:46.71] |
We lost another one that we sent with a gun |
[01:51.49] |
His lady missed him, he was |
[01:53.14] |
Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame |
[01:58.78] |
From the man to blame |
[02:03.81] |
|
[02:33.02] |
Jimmy's mother went to Capitol Hill |
[02:35.79] |
So she could fill her heart up with joy |
[02:41.05] |
Maybe shake a few hands while she's there |
[02:44.04] |
And tell them thank you, sir, for taking my boy |
[02:48.18] |
And then your hear 'em say that miles away |
[02:52.69] |
We lost another one that we sent with a gun |
[02:57.13] |
His mama missed him he was |
[02:59.59] |
Two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame |
[03:04.65] |
From the man to blame |
[03:08.73] |
No there's still no shame and we're all to blame |
[03:20.81] |
We're all to blame, we're all to blame |
[03:29.06] |
We're all to blame, we're all to blame |
