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 |
