Two Weeks From Twenty lyrics
by Yellowcard



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



Chorus:

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

Cause 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 his 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 you're gonna ask me to wait



Chorus



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



Chorus



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
