[E]
Well, I got a friend named Whiskey Sam.
He [A] was my boonie rat buddy for a year and now
[E] He [B] said I think my country got a little off [E] track.
It took him 25 years to welcome me back
But it's better than not coming back at all
[A]
Many a good man I saw fall [B] and even now every time [F#] I dream
[E] I hear the men and the [B] monkeys in the [E] jungle scream drive on
It don't mean [B] nothing my children love me [E] and they understand [A] and I got a woman [E] who knows a man drive on
It don't mean nothing.
It don't mean [B] nothing
[E] drive on I
Remember one night
Texting me [A]
walked right up on to VC
But [B] we had a six teens on rock [F#m] and [E] roll and we separated [B] them from their [E] soul
I was crazy and I was wild [A] and I have seen the tiger smile
[B] I spit in a bamboo [F#m] Vipers face [E] and I'd beat it [B] but by [E] God's grace drive on
It don't mean [G] nothing [E] my [F#] children love [E] me and they understand [A] and I got a woman [E] who knows a man drive on
It don't mean nothing.
It don't mean [B] nothing [E] drive on
Well a mortar fell 20 feet away [A] and I carry shrapnel to this day
[B] I came home, but text [F#m] did not [E] and I can't talk [B] about the [E] hit he got
But I got a little limp now when I [A] walk and I got a little tremolo when I talk
[B] But I finally found out [F#m] who I am.
[E] I'm a walking talking [B] miracle from [E] Vietnam drive on
It don't [B] mean nothing my [F#m] children [E] love me and they understand [A] and I got a woman [E] who knows a man drive on
It don't mean nothing.
It don't mean nothing
[B] [E] drive on
