ASCAP E E E7 I got a friend named Whiskey Sam A He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam B7 He said is my country just a little off track E B7 E Took 'em twenty-five years to welcome me back E E7 But, it's better than not coming back at all A Many a good man I saw fall B7 And even now, every time I dream E B7 E I hear the men and the monkeys in the jungle scream | E |Drive on, it don't mean nothin' | B7 E |My children love me , but they don't understand | A E |And I got a woman who knows her man | B7 E |Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on I remember one night, Tex and me Rappelled in on a hot L.Z. We had our 16's on rock and roll But, with all that fire, I was scared and cold We were crazy, we were 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 {chorus} It was a real slow walk in a real 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 I got a little limp now when I walk Got a little tremolo when I talk But my letter read from Whiskey Sam You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam {chorus} -------------------- www.TAB6.com
