Drive On Lyrics (Johnny Cash)
As if I were there
I got a friend, named Whiskey Sam
He was my boony-red buddy for a year in 'Nam
He said, I think my country got a little off track
He 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
Refrain:
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' - it don't mean nothin', drive on
I remember one night
Tex and me rebellin' on a hot L.C.
We had our sixteen's on rock 'n' 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
Refrain:
Well, 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
Refrain:
Spoken:
Thank you - thank you very much - I wrote a song of "Me and Paul", one time, do you remember - I love this song, yeah
