johnny cash - drive on (songwriter ver.) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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 them twenty+five years to welcome me back

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
drive on, it don’t mean nothing
my children love me, but they don’t understand
and i got a woman who knows her man, drive on
it don’t mean nothing, drive on

[verse 3]
i rеmember one night, tеx and me
rappelled in on a hot l.z
we had our 16’s on rock and roll
but with all that fire, i was scared and cold

[verse 4]
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
[chorus]
drive on, it don’t mean nothing
my children love me, but they don’t understand
and i got a woman who knows her man, drive on
it don’t mean nothing, it don’t mean nothing, drive on

[verse 5]
it was a real slow walk in a 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

[verse 6]
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 walking, talking miracle from vietnam

[chorus]
drive on, it don’t mean nothing
my children love me, but they don’t understand
and i got a woman who knows her man, drive on
it don’t mean nothing, it don’t mean nothing, drive on
