Lyrics
Well, I got a friend named whiskey sam He was my boonierat buddy for a year in nam He said I think my country got 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 It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on
Well, I remember one night Tex and me rappelled in on a hot l.z We had our 16's on rock and roll And with all of 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 It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on
It was a slow walk in a 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 But I got a little limp now when I walk And I 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 It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' Drive on
