Generate meaning
1
Well, he smoked those Camel cigarettes about three packs a day
2
Nicotine stains on his fingers when he'd stretch them out to play
3
That old midnight special is one he loved to do
4
Then he'd sing, "I'm walking the floor over you"
5
TV preachers and welfare checks for him just had no place
6
But he'd take his time to tune real good when he sang 'Amazing Grace'
7
He'd say, "Boys I'm old and crazy but I still give a damn
8
And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam"
9
He'd drag out that old uniform and say, "They used to call me slim"
10
He never could get it buttoned up but the pride looked good on him
11
He still feels the way he felt over forty years ago
12
Here's to the old man, here's to G.I.Joe
13
He only sang the old songs, he's standing still in time
14
My Phillipino baby, right there on his mind
15
Then he'd talk about the big one, the war we didn't lose
16
He'd pick a little bit like Travis, re-enlistment blues
17
He'd drag out that old uniform and say, "They used to call me Slim"
18
He never could get it buttoned up but the pride looked good on him
19
Oh, he still feels the way he felt over forty years ago
20
Here's to the old man, here's to G.I.Joe
21
Here's to my old man and all the G.I. Joes
