Drive On (Songwriter Ver.) 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 them 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
But drive on, it don’t mean nothing
My children love me and they understand
And I got a woman that loves her man, drive on
It don’t mean nothing, it don’t mean nothing, drive on
I remember one night, Tex and me
Walked right up on two VC
But we had our 16’s on rock and roll
And we separated them from their souls
Well were crazy and 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 nothing
My children love me and they understand
And I got a woman that loves her man, drive on
It don’t mean nothing, it don’t mean nothing, drive on
Well a mortar fell twenty
And I carry shrapnel till this day
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 walking, talking miracle from Vietnam
Drive on, it don’t mean nothing
My children love me and they understand
And I got a woman that loves her man, drive on
It don’t mean nothing, it don’t mean nothing, drive on
