Jimmy left town about a month ago,
He showed his mommy and daddy his bravest face and set on the road..
To where, they didn't know..
A three hour drive to the base,
To a plane, to a jeep, to a truck and then finally onto a ship
for a longer trip..
And that's a long, long way
A long, long way to go
For the wrong, wrong way
the wrong, wrong way to go..
Jimmy just wanted to help save the world
And he trusted his uncle to never get him into a fight
Without knowing he's right
On a Saturday morning just doing his job
In a town where he shouldn't have gone, there was a roadside bomb..
And now Jimmy's gone.
He was a long, long way
A long, long way from home..
And that's a wrong, wrong way
A damn hard way to go..
You don't have to be a football star
To leave a permanent scar
On all the lives that you've been torn from
For the wrong, wrong way
The wrong, wrong way to go..
He showed his mommy and daddy his bravest face and set on the road..
To where, they didn't know..
A three hour drive to the base,
To a plane, to a jeep, to a truck and then finally onto a ship
for a longer trip..
And that's a long, long way
A long, long way to go
For the wrong, wrong way
the wrong, wrong way to go..
Jimmy just wanted to help save the world
And he trusted his uncle to never get him into a fight
Without knowing he's right
On a Saturday morning just doing his job
In a town where he shouldn't have gone, there was a roadside bomb..
And now Jimmy's gone.
He was a long, long way
A long, long way from home..
And that's a wrong, wrong way
A damn hard way to go..
You don't have to be a football star
To leave a permanent scar
On all the lives that you've been torn from
For the wrong, wrong way
The wrong, wrong way to go..
