Who is the senile codger there?

(Sincere apologies to James Garner and Brett...)

Who is the senile codger there?
Maverick is the name.
Ridin' the base to you-know-where,
Rove is his companion,
Lyin' is his game.
Dazed and befuddled as they come.
Maverick is the name.
Can't tell a bagel from a bun,
Has no soul to speak of,
Not a lick of shame.

Journalist, hide your notes,
He'd tear out all your throats
Lucky for him his pit bull does the rest.
Baghdad to New Orleans
Sarah looks good in jeans
Maverick's just a cuckoo with no nest.
