And I'm Ctired of taking Gorders
And I Ammiss old Rockford Ctown

Shovelling Csnow and raking Fleaves 
And my Cplane Fwill touch Cdown
FOn the Cday after GtomorCrow
[Verse 5]
CI close my eyes every night
And I Cdream that I can Ghold you
They fill us full of Amlies, Ceveryone buys
About what it Cmeans to be a Gsoldier 
[Verse 6]
I still don't know Fhow I'm supposed to Cfeel
About all the Cblood that's been Fspilled 
Will god on this Cthrone get Fme back Chome
FOn the Cday after GtomorCrow
[Verse 7]
CYou can't deny, the other side 
Don't want to Cdie anymore then Gwe do
What I'm trying to Amsay is, Cdon't they pray
To the Csame god that Gwe do?
[Verse 8]
And tell me Fhow does god Cchoose 
Whose Cprayers does he Frefuse? 
Who turns the Cwheel Who Fthrows the Cdice
FOn the Cday after GtomorCrow

We're just the Cgravel on the Froad 
And only the Clucky ones Fcome Chome
FOn the Cday after GtomorCrow

CAnd the summer, it too will fade 
And with it Cbrings the winter's Gfrost dear

I been Csaving all my Fpay 
And my Cplane Fwill touch Cdown 
FOn the Cday after GtomorCrow
And my Cplane Fwill touch Cdown 
FOn the Cday after GtomorCrow
