Yellowcard- Two Weeks From Twenty (lyrics)

Yellowcard- Two Weeks From Twenty

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 ivoy league since he was only three feet tall
And get the hell out of jersey and then he would never look back at all

And then your heroes 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
Cos 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 your gonna ask me to wait

And then your heroes 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 them thank you sir for taking my boy.

And then your heroes 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
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

[MyDustlandFairytaleX]

This song is really sad.

I think the lyrics are

"He was dreaming of the Ivy league"

like Harvard and universities like that but I could be wrong.

Peace = ]

[casualtie45]

I´m about to go to college, far away from home, I never realized all the things I was leaving behind but I listened to this song and it just made me cry. Gonna miss you mum :C

[Sathyru7]

no dislikes, BETTER KEEP THAT WAY SONS

[Pandamoaniumify]

It's a trumpet nothing like a sax sir.

[Kratatosk]

It's not a sax, I play sax and am in a school band. That's a trumpet.

[Slide2671]

Like that line. "We're all to blame." So true. Iraq wasn't started by terrorists, or George Bush, or any of that shit. It's us that started it. We are all to blame.

[darknshark]

very old school foo fighters feel, pretty sick ;P

[kidoesj]

@gezzai it's a trumpet solo ;)
