EI got a friend named Whiskey SamE7
He was my Aboonierat buddy for a year in Nam
He B7said is my country just a little off track
Took 'em Etwenty-five years to B7welcome me back E
But, it's Ebetter than not coming back at all E7
AMany a good man I saw fall
B7And even now, every time I dream
I hear the Emen and the monkeys in the B7jungle scream E

|Drive onE, it don't mean nothin'
|
|My chilB7dren love me , but they Edon't understand
|
|And AI got a woman who Eknows her man
|
|Drive on, don't mean nothin', B7drive Eon
I remember one night, Tex and me
Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.
We had our M16'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:...
