I got a friend named Whiskey Sam He was my boonierat buddy for a year in NamHe 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 dreamI 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.ZWe had our 16's on rock and roll But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold I was crazy, and I was 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 VietnamDrive on, it don't mean nothin'
