Artist: Johnny Cash Album: American Recordings (2006) Title: Drive On
Lyrics Drive OnNow I got a friend named Whiskes Sam He was my boony-rat buddy from Vietnam He said his country got a little off track Took him 25 years to welcome me back But its better than not coming back at all Many a good men I saw fall And even now every time I dream I hear the men and the monkees, and the jungle scream
Drive on It dont mean nothin' My children love me, but they dont understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on It dont mean nothin', it dont mean nothin' Drive on
I remember Tex and me Raffled in on a hot L.Z Had our sixteens on rock and roll And we thought of that fire I was scared and cold I was crazy, and I was wild I have seen the Tigers smile Spit in a bamboo Viper's face And i'd be dead, but by Gods grace
Drive on It dont mean nothin' My children love me, but they dont understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on It dont mean nothin', it dont mean nothin' Drive on
It was a slow walk, and a sad rain And nobody tried to be John Wayne I came home, but Tex did not And I cant talk about the hit he got But I got a little limp now when I walk And I got a little tremble o' when I talk But my letter read from Whiskey Sam "Your a walkin, talkin miracle from Vietnam"
Drive on It dont mean nothin' My children love me, but they dont understand And I got a woman who knows her man Drive on It dont mean nothin', it dont mean nothin' Drive on |
