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 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 Vietnamchorus
