Drive On

Written by Johnny Cash

Published by Song of Cash Inc. ASCAP

E

E E7

I got a friend named Whiskey Sam

A

He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam

B7

He said is my country just a little off track

E B7 E

Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back

E E7

But, it's better than not coming back at all

A

Many a good man I saw fall

B7

And even now, every time I dream

E B7 E

I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream

| E

|Drive on, it don't mean nothin'

| B7 E

|My children love me , but they don't understand

| A E

|And I got a woman who knows her man

| B7 E

|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, I 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

{chorus}

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

{chorus}
