Mi Mi7
I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
La
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
Si7
He said is my country just a little off track
Mi Si7 Mi
Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back
Mi7
But, it's better than not coming back at all
La
Many a good man I saw fall
Si7
And even now, every time I dream
Mi Si7 Mi
I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream
Mi
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
Si7 Mi
My children love me , but they don't understand
La Mi
And I got a woman who knows her man
Si7 Mi
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
Mi Mi7
I remember one night, Tex and me
La
Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.
Si7
We had our 16's on rock and roll
Mi Si7 Mi
But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold
We were crazy, we were wild
La
And I have seen the tiger smile
Si7
I spit in a bamboo viper's face
Mi Si7 Mi
And I'd be dead , but by God's grace
Mi
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
Si7 Mi
My children love me , but they don't understand
La Mi
And I got a woman who knows her man
Si7 Mi
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
Mi Mi7
It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain
La
And nobody tried to be John Wayne
Si7
I came home, but Tex did not
Mi Si7 Mi
And I can't talk about the hit he got
Mi7
I got a little limp now when I walk
La
Got a little tremolo when I talk
Si7
But my letter read from Whiskey Sam
Mi Si7 Mi
You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam
Mi
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
Si7 Mi
My children love me , but they don't understand
La Mi
And I got a woman who knows her man
Si7 Mi
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
