Steve Earle

My Uncle

Verse 1:
A letter came today from my draftboard
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire
It asked alot of questions 'bout my mama and my papa
That ain't exactly what I call fair
Chorus:
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
Bridge:
G A D D A G A D A D (same as chorus)
Verse 2:
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
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Verse 3:
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle
I expect that it's more than I can pay
He's askin' me to sign a three year contract
I guess I'll catch the next bus out today
CHORUS (2X)
