Johnny Cash Drive On Lyrics

Drive On Lyrics




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 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, 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 one night, 

Tex and me Rappelled in on a hot L.Z. 

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, 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 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
