CI'm just an oGld worn out Cmajor, I can't cFount all the plaGces I've bCeen
And FI can still teCll a good stoGry, but the tFruth is somehow wearing tGhin
And this drCink in my hGand it is fCading, and there iFs no chGance I can sCtay
So I bAmid you a dEmew and wAmish I was yEmou, bFack in the GLPCA

Well CI'm just an oGld crusty coClonel, who’s stoFries are tGoo old to shCare
And moFst of them CI have forgGotten, from tFhree years in a Pentagon cGhair
And the geCneral he wiGll be a' caCllin and there is Fno chanGce I can stCay
So I’ll bAmid you a Emdew and wish AmI was Emyou, bFack in the GLPCA
[Chorus]
Singing Caye yi yGi, the good tAmimes had EmI... bFack in the GLPCA
Singing CAy yi yGi, I wAmish that EmI was bFack in the GLPCA
