[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
{end_of_chorus}
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}
