Drive On Johnny Cash
[Intro]
[E] [E] [Em] [E] [E] [Em] [E]
[Verse 1]
[E]I got a friend named Whiskey Sam
H[A]e was my boonierat buddy for a year in Nam
He s[B7]aid is my country just a little off track
[E]Took 'em twenty-five years to [B7]welcome me [E]back
[Verse 2]
[E]But, it's better than not comin' back at all
[A]Many a good men I saw fall
[B7]And even now, every time I dream
[E]I hear the men and the monkeys in the [B7]jungle s[E]cream
[Cborus]
[E]Drive on, it don't mean nothin'
[B7]My children love me, but they d[E]on't understand
[A]And I got a woman who kno[E]ws her man, Drive on
[E]It don't mean nothin', [B7]drive o[E]n
[Verse 3]
[E]I remember one night, Tex and me
[A]Rappelled in on a hot L.Z.
[B7]We had our 16's on rock and roll
[E]But with all that fire, was s[B7]cared and c[E]old
[Verse 4]
[E]I was crazy and I was wild
[A]And I have seen the tiger smile
[B7]I spit in a bamboo viper's face
[E]And I'd be dead, but by Go[B7]d's grace, [E]Drive on,
[Cborus]
[E]It don't mean nothin'
[B7]My children love me, but t[E]hey don't understand
[A]And I got a woman who [E]knows her man, Drive on
[E]It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin', d[B7]rive [E]on
[Verse 5]
[E]It was a slow walk in a sad rain
[A]And nobody tried to be John Wayne
[B7]I came home, Tex did not
[E]And I can't talk about the [B7]hit he g[E]ot
[Verse 6]
[E]Well, I got a little limp now when I walk
a[A]nd I Got a little tremolo when I talk
[B7]But I finally found out who I am
[E]I'm a walkin' talkin' miracle from [B7]Vietn[E]am, Drive on,
[Cborus]
[E]It don't mean nothin'
[B7]My children love me, but t[E]hey don't understand
[A]And I got a woman who k[E]nows her man, Drive on
[E]It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin', [B7]drive o[E]n
