Drive On

I got a friend named Whiskey SamHe was my boonierat buddy for a year in NamHe said is my country just a little off trackTook 'em twenty-five years to welcome me backBut, it's better than not coming back at allMany a good manI saw fall And even now,every time I dream I hear the menand the monkeys in the jungle screamDrive on, don't mean nothin'My children love me , but they don't understandAnd I got a woman who knows her manDrive on, don't mean nothin', drive onI remember one night,Tex and me Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.We had our 16's on rock and rollBut, with all that fire,was scared and coldWe were crazy, we were wildAnd I have seen the tiger smileI spit in a bamboo viper's faceAnd I'd be dead , but by God's graceDrive on, don't mean nothin'My children love me, but they don't understandAnd I got a woman who knows her manDrive on, don't mean nothin', drive onIt was a real slow walk in a real sad rainAnd nobody tried to be John WayneI came home, but Tex did notAnd I can't talk about the hit he gotI got a little limp now whenI walk Got a little tremolo whenI talk But my letter read from Whiskey SamYou're a walkin' talkin' miracle from VietnamDrive on, don't mean nothin'My children love me, but they don't understandAnd I got a woman who knows her manDrive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
