[Verse 1] There was blood upon the risers, there were brains upon the chute Intestines were adangling from his paratroopers suit He was a mess, they picked him up, and poured him from his boots And he aint gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die He aint gonna jump no more! [Verse 2] Now the letter they sent home, went to his wife and baby son Madam we regret to say, your troopers life is done But hold your head up high, his name is written in the sky He aint gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die He aint gonna jump no more [Verse 3] Now the baby son grew up and said, A troopers life for me A jumper like my daddy was, is all I want to be I only hope that I can jump just half as good as he He aint gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die He aint gonna jump no more [Verse 4] They sent him to Afghanistan and then into Iraq The bullet then came speeding up, and deep into his back He hit the ground but his grenade found enemy on track He aint gonna jump no more [Chorus] Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die Gory, gory, what a helluva way to die He aint gonna jump no more
