C-130 Rolling down the strip.
Airborne daddy momma/ranger on a one-way trip.
Mission unspoken, destination unknown.
They don't even know if they'll ever come home.

Stand up hook up, shuffle to the door.
Jump right out and count to four.

If my main don't open wide.
I've got a reserve my by side.
If that one don't fail me too.
Look out ground, I'm a comin through

Pin my medals upon my chest,
and bury me in the leaning rest.

When I get to heaven.
St. Peter's gonna say.
How'd you earn your livin?
How'd you earn your pay?

And I will reply with a little bit of anger:
Earned my pay as an Recon Ranger

I liked this version a lot:
C-130 going down the strip
blew a tire and the mutha fucka flipped

Well the C-130 ain't flying today
Air Force pilot went UA
Mission top secret destination unknown
so his sorry ass just stayed at home

The Colonel had a mission that he had to complete
So he reached for the phone down at his feet
He thought just a second then he said "What the Heck"
dialed 1-800-LEATHER NECK
