Verse 1

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

Chorus

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 two weeks from twenty

And there's still no shame

From the man to blame

Verse 2

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Interlude

Bridge

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro

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
