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
