Cash, Johnny - 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
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,
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

This song is about a millatary vettern
Here's a story about Vietnam for a few years my great grandpa was a medic in Vietnam who handled a dog and he told my grandpa one time the went into pick up the wounded in choppers from shot landing zone and one of the Vietcong threw a hand grenade and it took the guy in the stretchers head off and they threw his body in and took off before they got shot or capture he also said that G-O-O-K-S were afraid of three thing napalm fifty calibre machine guns and dogs they had all the dogs trained so that when he got wounded the German Shepard starved because it wouldn't take food from anyone but him yeah I never met great grandpa but he talked about it some to my grandpa
Don't mean nunthin'
