johnny cash – drive on (alternate lyrics) 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, 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
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, 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 real slow walk in a real sad rain
and n0body 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
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
