Drive On Alt lyrics

I got a friend named Whiskey Sam

He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam

He said is my country just a little off track

Took `em twenty-five years to welcome me back

But, it`s better than not coming back at all

Many a good man I saw fall

And even now, every time I dream

I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream



Drive on, it don`t mean nothin`

My children love me , but they don`t understand

And I got a woman who knows her man

Drive on, don`t mean nothin`, drive on



I remember one night, Tex and me

Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.

We had our 16`s on rock and roll

But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold

We were crazy, we were wild

And I have seen the tiger smile

I spit in a bamboo viper`s face

And I`d be dead , but by God`s grace



Drive on, it don`t mean nothin`

My children love me , but they don`t understand

And I got a woman who knows her man

Drive on, don`t mean nothin`, drive on



It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain

And nobody tried to be John Wayne

I came home, but Tex did not

And I can`t talk about the hit he got

I got a little limp now when I walk

Got a little tremolo when I talk

But my letter read from Whiskey Sam

You`re a walkin` talkin` miracle from Vietnam



Drive on, it don`t mean nothin`

My children love me , but they don`t understand

And I got a woman who knows her man

Drive on, don`t mean nothin`, drive on
