Lyrics My Uncle - Steve Earle
A
letter
came
today
from
my
draft
board
With
trembling
hands
I
read
the
questionnaire
And
it
asked
a
lot
of
things
'bout
my
mama
and
papa
That
ain't
exactly
what
I
call
fair
So
I'm
headed
for
the
nearest
foreign
border
Vancouver
might
be
just
my
kind
of
town
'Cause
they
ain't
got
the
kind
of
law
and
order
That
tends
to
keep
a
good
man
underground
A
sad
old
soldier
once
told
me
a
story
About
a
battlefield
that
he
was
on
He
said
a
man
should
never
fight
for
glory
I
guess
he
knows
what's
right
and
what
is
wrong
So
I'm
headed
for
the
nearest
foreign
border
Vancouver
might
be
just
my
kind
of
town
'Cause
they
ain't
got
the
kind
of
law
and
order
That
tends
to
keep
a
good
man
underground
Now
I
don't
know
how
much
I
owe
my
uncle
I
expext
that
it's
more
than
I
can
pay
He's
asking
me
to
sign
a
three-year
contract
I
guess
I'll
catch
the
nextt
bus
out
today
And
I'm
headed
for
the
nearest
foreign
border
Vancouver
might
be
just
my
kind
of
town
'Cause
they
ain't
got
the
kind
of
law
and
order
That
tends
to
keep
a
good
man
underground
And
I'm
headed
for
the
nearest
foreign
border
Vancouver
might
be
just
my
kind
of
town
'Cause
they
ain't
got
the
kind
of
law
and
order
That
tends
to
keep
a
good
man
underground
