I am a 70 year old Nam Vet that just heard this song for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes. My children love me but they don't understand. I have PTSD and this song brings back the real memories of the war.

Johnny Cash was the real deal. He didnt put airs on for anyone, and he called it the way he saw it. Mr Johnny Cash, American icon.

This was played at my late husbands burial. USMC Enlisted in 69. Deceased in 2018. Too young. I love and miss that man.

A lot folks haven't come back. Whether from Nam or the Middle East. Then or now. That kind of hostility and violence changes a person on a base-level. Drive on, indeed.

God there are no words, no superlatives, for Johnny Cash...

We had our 16s on rock and roll And we separated them from their souls.

John CASH had an appeal that was deeper than mere charisma. He stood out. /CD

So cool to see Bob picking the "boom chicka boom" on an acoustic guitar

He was the quintessential American Real Deal! We only get about 1 per generation. RIP JR Cash!

Absolutely beautiful version, thank you! What a great sound they had with the upright bass - back to the basic Cash sound.

Williams Owens my great respect God bless you Greatings from the Netherlands ( Holland)

Best Johnny Cash song. :)

My brother, never came back, god I miss em.

Man musste wieder mit J.C. rechnen wunderbar

An eloquent statement about the horrors of war. Thanks for the music, Johnny.

RIP Bro. Cash

John kickin ass in the 90s.Bob n Fluke in tow!

Wow he looks so young...he was 60 their and I am 52...freaks me out I remember his Variety Show it was not HeeHaw or a country Show Cash had ecclectic taste. I love this song

Mad that I think I missed this! 1993 was during a few yrs when I'd religiously check TV guide for these & similar spots & set VCR while I'm asleep or @ work...don't remember this one! :(

It means something. It means a lot.

Ein wunderbar.

that little girl (cholately) said it best. from a Marine combat vet i am so proud to have served people like her. And JC rocks balls.

I spent most of my life resenting both of my parents, they were crazy, controlling, and mildly hateful. They were also both Vietnam Vets. I went to Iraq in 2005 at the age of 26. Now I understand. All of us vets need to drive on, because nothing we did means nothing.

Truly a great version, just such a great tape! All crisp and clear, thanks a million!

He'd always switch lyrics slightly from the CD just like he would do with Dalia..but both are GREAT....and Cash is AWESOME.

15 thumbs down...? They must of been having a real bad day.

" I can't talk about the hit he got"

Drive On John...

This is incredibly cool and awesome.

Greatest ..Cash was..RIP.

One day on Gatun Drop Zone in Panama an old Sergeant once told me to take 2 salt tablets and drive-on

er ist einfach der groß

JC says it all...

Cool

Drive on, it don't mean nothin'. My units motto in OIF VI-VII

"It don't mean nothing, drive on"
