Drive On (Alt Lyrics) Lyrics

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 a 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 , and they understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
Drive on, don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin', drive on
I remember one night, Tex and me
Walked right up on 2 V.C.
We had our 16's on rock and roll
And, we separated them from their souls
I was crazy, 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
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, don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin', drive on
Well, a mortar fell 20 feet away
And I carry shrapnel, to this day
I came home, but 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, 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, don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin', drive on
