Drive On 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, 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,
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, 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, 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
