Текст песни Drive On (Live) - Johnny Cash , Willie Nelson

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
Took ′em twenty-five years to welcome me back
But, 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, but they don't understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
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
Drive on, it don't mean nothin′
My children love me, but they don't understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
Drive on, don't mean nothin′, drive on
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
Drive on, it don′t mean nothin'
My children love me, but they don′t understand
And I got a woman who knows her man
Drive on, don't mean nothin', drive on
