Favorite Song Lyrics

He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright
He checked off his equipment and made sure his pack was tight
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar.
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more See More
"Is everybody happy?" cried the Sergeant looking up
Our Hero feebly answered "Yes," and then they stood him up
He leaped right out into the blast, his static line unhooked
and he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more
He counted loud, he counted long, he waited for the shock
He felt the wind, he felt the cold, he felt that awful drop
The silk from his reserves spilled out, and wrapped around his legs
And he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more
The risers wrapped around his neck, connectors cracked his dome
Suspension lines were tied in knots around his skinny bones
His canopy became a shroud as he hurtled to the ground
And he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more
The days he'd lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind
He thought about the girl back home; the one he’d left behind
He thought about the medics, and wondered what they'd find
And he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more
The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, rolled up their sleeves and smiled
For it had been a week or so since last a chute had failed
And he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more
He hit the ground, the sound was splat, the blood went spurting high
His comrades were to say "What a heck of a way to die!"
He lay there rolling around in all the welter of his gore
And he ain't gonna jump no more
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die
With a rifle on his back as he’s falling through the sky
Gory, gory what a heck of a way to die, and he ain't gonna jump no more
There was blood upon the risers, there was brains upon his chute
Intestines were a-dangling from his paratrooper suit
They picked him up, still in his suit, and poured him from his boots
And he ain't gonna jump no more
