Drive On

Johnny Cash

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 comin' back at all

Many a good men I saw fall

And even now, every time I dream

I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream



Drive on, don't mean nothin'

My children love me, but they don't understand

And I got a woman who knows her man

Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on



I remember on night, Tex and me

Rapelled in on a hot L.Z.

But 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, don't mean nothin'

My children love me, but they don't understand

And I got a woman who knows her man

Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on



It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain

And nobody tried to be John Wayne

I came home, Tex did not

And I can't talk about the hit he got

I got a little limp now when I walk

Got a little tremolo when I talk

But my letter read from Whiskey Sam

You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam



Drive on, don't mean nothin'

My children love me, but they don't understand

And I got a woman who knows her man

Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
