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
Get the hell out of Jersey
And then he would never look back at all
And then you hear them say
That miles away
We lost another one
That we sent with a gun
They're gonna miss him, he was 2 weeks from 20
And there's still no shame
From the man to blame
Jimmy never had a reason to stay
Because 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 you're gonna ask me to wait
And then you hear them say
That miles away
We lost another one
That we sent with a gun
His lady missed him, he was 2 weeks from 20
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 them say
That miles away
We lost another one
That we sent with a gun
His mama missed him, he was 2 weeks from 20
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
