Well IG used to hang out down at the VFW hall D7
And stare at the photographs up on the Gwall
Of the neighborhood boys that died in the wars we've been D7through
And the hand lettered sign that said remember Jimmy GMcGrew
Well Jimmy went to Nam back in 19D765
But there's a lot of men here that think Jimmy McGrew's still Galive
Though they carved his name on a stone in Washington D7DC
His brother said that stone don't prove a thing to Gme
It's veteran's Cday and the skies are Ggray
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a paD7rade
But we'll Gfill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it Cthrough
And leave a Glight in the window toD7night for Jimmy GMcGrew
There's a hot rain falling on the back streets of SaiD7gon
There's an old soldier stumbling down the alley with his mama-Gsan
Lord his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and D7blue
He's just hanging by a thread and he looks like Jimmy GMcGrew
It's veteran's Cday and the skies are Ggray
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a paD7rade
But we'll Gfill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it Cthrough
And leave a Glight in the window toD7night for Jimmy GMcGrew
And keep it burning bright there may still be
A lot of Jimmy McGrews over there
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it Cthrough
And leave a Glight in the window toD7night for Jimmy GMcGrew
