Lyrics

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
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 walkGot a little tremolo when
I talkBut my letter read from
Whiskey Sam
You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from
VietnamDrive 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
