Drive On

Accordi Drive On

MI                           MI7         
I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
          LA                                
He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
   SI7                                        
He said is my country just a little off track
         MI                   SI7        MI

Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back  
                                          MI7
But, it's better than not coming back at all  
LA                         
Many a good man I saw fall
SI7                              
And even now, every time I dream
           MI                         SI7    MI

I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream  

      MI                      
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
   SI7                         MI               
My children love me , but they don't understand
    LA                MI            
And I got a woman who knows her man
                              SI7   MI 
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on

    MI                  MI7

I remember one night, Tex and me
LA            
 Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.
   SI7
We had our 16's on rock and roll
          MI                   SI7        MI

But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold

We were crazy, we were wild
LA
 And I have seen the tiger smile
  SI7
I spit in a bamboo viper's face
    MI                   SI7   MI

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

      MI                      
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
   SI7                         MI               
My children love me , but they don't understand
    LA                MI            
And I got a woman who knows her man
                              SI7   MI 
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on

MI                                      MI7

 It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain
    LA
And nobody tried to be John Wayne
SI7 
I came home, but Tex did not
    MI                     SI7    MI

And I can't talk about the hit he got
                               MI7                            
I got a little limp now when I walk
LA
Got a little tremolo when I talk
       SI7     
But my letter read from Whiskey Sam
         MI                           SI7 MI

You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam

      MI                      
Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
   SI7                         MI               
My children love me , but they don't understand
    LA                MI            
And I got a woman who knows her man
                              SI7    MI 
Drive on, don't mean nothin',  drive on
