But he'd take his time to tune real good when he sang 'Amazing Grace'
He never could get it buttoned up but the pride looked good on him
He'd drag out that old uniform and say, "They used to call me Slim"
That old midnight special is one he loved to do
Then he'd sing, "I'm walking the floor over you"
He never could get it buttoned up but the pride looked good on him
He'd pick a little bit like Travis, re-enlistment blues
And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam"
He'd drag out that old uniform and say, "They used to call me slim"
Then he'd talk about the big one, the war we didn't lose
He only sang the old songs, he's standing still in time
Here's to the old man, here's to G.I.Joe
Here's to the old man, here's to G.I.Joe
Oh, he still feels the way he felt over forty years ago
He'd say, "Boys I'm old and crazy but I still give a damn
My Phillipino baby, right there on his mind
TV preachers and welfare checks for him just had no place
He still feels the way he felt over forty years ago
