  [C]I got a friend named Whisky Sam

  [F]He was my boony red (?) buddy for a year in 'Nam

  [G]He said 'I think my country got a little off track' 

  [C]It took him 25 years to welcome it back

  

  [C]But it's better than not coming back at all

  [F]Many a good man I saw fall 

  [G]And even now, sometimes when I dream

  [C]I hear the men and the monkeys and the jungle scream

       [C]Drive on, it don't mean nothing

       [F]Children love me but they don't understand

       [G]And I got a woman who knows her man

       [C]Drive on, it don't mean nothing

       It don't mean nothing, [G7]drive [C]on

  I remember one night when Tex and me

  Rappled in on a hot LZ

  We had our 16's on rock-and-roll

  And with all of that fire I was scared and cool

  

  I was crazy, and I was wild

  I had seen the tiger smile

  I spit in a bamboo viper's face

  And I'd be dead but by God's grace

  

  {c: chorus}

  

  It was a long walk in a 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

  

  Now I got a little limp when I walk 

  And I got a little tremolo when I talk

  But the letter I got from Whisky Sam

  Said 'you're a walking, talking miracle from Vietnam'

  

  {c: chorus}
