I got a friend named Whiskey Sam

He was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam

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
