One day I looked into my rear view mirror,
And coming up from behind,
Was a Georgia State Police Man,
And a hundred dollar fine.

Well he looked me in the eyes as he was writing me up,
He said, "Driver, You been flyin'!
95 is the route you're on,
it was not the speed limit sign. :)

on a cold night in a hard rain
and the very first song that the radio sang
It was "I won't be home no more"

-- Old 97's -- Won't Be Home
(sorry for the long quote but its my favorite song at the moment)

[You're a rattle trap tonight my ears are getting tired
To listen for a while before this thing expired
It was bound to fail because of where I'm from
Now the moon's at four o'clock and it's high time kingdom come
So please get out of my car]

Of course mama'll help to build the wall."

Pink Floyd, "Mother"

[John McClane]

They sing through life, so why can't we?

To the tune of Glory Glory Halleluja(spelling)

Is everybody happy said the sergeant looking up, our hero feebly answered yes and then they hooked him up, he jumped into the slipstream and he twisted 20 times and he aint gonna jump no more

chorus
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
and he ain't gonna jump no more

He counted loud he conted long he waited for the shock, he felt the wind he felt the air he felt that awful drop, he pulled the cord the silk came down and rapped around his legs and he aint gonna jump no more

chorus

The times he lived and loved and laughed kept flashing through his mind, he thought about the medics and he wondered what they'd find, he thought about the girlback home the one he left behind and he aint gonna jump no more.

Chorus

the lines all wrapped around his neck the D-rings broke his dome, his lift webs wrapped themselves in knots around each skinny bone, his canopy was his shroud as he hurdled to the ground and he aint gonna jump no more

chorus

The ambulance was on the spot the jeeps were running wild, the medics they all clapped their hands rolled up their sleeves and smiled, for it had been a week or more since last a chute had failed and he aint gonna jump no more

chorus

He hit the ground the sound was splat the blood went spurting high, his friends were heard to say " oh what a lovely way to die", they wrapped him up still in his chute and poored him from his boots and he aint gonna jump no more

chorus

There was blood upon his lift webs,
There was blood upon his chute,
Blood that came a trickling
From his paratrooper boots,
And there he lay like jelly
In the welter of his gore,
And he ain't going to jump no more.

chorus


Glory Glory what a hell of a way to die by the 101st Airborne
