Drive On Lyrics

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 of 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', 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', drive on It was a long walk in a sad rain 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 I finally found out who I am I'm 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', drive on
