Drive On (2 вариант)

[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:chorus} 
{start_of_chorus} 
[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}
