| 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 |
