Yellowcard - Two Weeks From Twenty Lyrics

Jimmy wasn't really popular 
He had a couple of friends back home 
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 3 feet tall 
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 
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 the way out the door 
But 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 

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 him thank you sir for taking my boy 

And then you 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 
And we're all to blame
