Drive On - Alternate Lyrics

Well I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
 He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
 He said I think my country got a little off track
 It took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back
 Bu, it's better than not coming back at all
 Many a good man I saw fall
 And even now, every time I dream
 I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream
 Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
 My children love me, and they understand
 And I got a woman who knows her man
 Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin'
 Drive on
 ♪
 I remember one night, Tex and me
 Walked right up on 2 V.C.
 But we had our 16's on rock and roll
 And we separated them from their souls
 I was crazy and I was 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, it don't mean nothin'
 My children love me, and they understand
 And I got a woman who knows her man
 Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin'
 Drive on
 ♪
 Well, a mortar fell 20 feet away
 And I carry shrapnel, to this day
 I came home, but tex did not
 And I can't talk about the hit he got
 But I got a little limp now when I walk
 And I got a little tremolo when I talk
 But I finally found out who I am
 I'm a walkin' talkin' miracle from vietnam
 Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
 My children love me, and they understand
 And I got a woman who knows her man
 Drive on, it don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin'
 Drive on
