Johnny Cash Drive On

I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
He said is 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
We've been crazy, and We've been 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


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
