Intro]
Grease on the hands, diesel in the air,
Diablo troop mechanics everywhere,
If the tanks stop movin’ in the middle of the night,
They bring ‘em back to life and make it right.
[Verse 1]
Staff Sergeant Pool runnin’ the bay,
Coffee and a wrench start every day,
Staff Sergeant Brunk never slowin’ down,
Keepin’ busted armor rollin’ through town.
Sergeant Heinzel under tracks all day,
Covered in grease but he’s built that way,
Sergeant Espi got the torque specs tight,
Fix a dead engine by the shop light.
Sergeant McNaughtan movin’ quick through smoke,
Laughin’ while the old tools break and choke,
Everybody tired but nobody quits,
Diablo mechanics built for this.
[Chorus]
We the Diablo wrench kings, workin’ through the pain,
Sweatin’ in the sun, freezin’ in the rain,
Hydraulic fluid and JP-8,
Mission comes first, sleep can wait.
From the motor pool to the convoy line,
Keepin’ every tank alive on time,
Everybody cheers when the engines roll,
But mechanics keep the heartbeat whole.
[Verse 2]
Specialist Jackson got music turned loud,
Turnin’ wrenches while he jokes with the crowd,
Specialist Boonsa calm as can be,
Fix any problem effortlessly.
PFC Henderson learnin’ real fast,
Long nights teach lessons that last,
PFC Davis covered in soot,
Still somehow got spotless boots.
PFC Rodriguez never says quit,
Always down to grind through it,
PFC Attaki yellin’ across the bay,
“Pass that breaker bar my way!”
[Bridge]
Private Second Class Alvarado standin’ tall,
Outworkin’ half the shop and shockin’ ‘em all,
Grease on her gloves, confidence loud,
Earned her respect from the whole damn crowd.
[Final Chorus]
Yeah we the Diablo wrench kings, loud and proud,
Turnin’ broken steel around,
Hands cut up but the spirit won’t crack,
Always gettin’ one more tank back.
Pool and Brunk lead the way,
Heinzel and Espi every day,
McNaughtan, Jackson, Boonsa too,
Henderson and Davis pushin’ through.
Rodriguez, Attaki, holdin’ the line,
Alvarado right there every time,
When the engines roar and the dust cloud flies,
Diablo mechanics keep the armor alive.
[Outro]
Grease-stained legends late at night…
Diablo mechanics keep the fight alive.
