Chris Hillman - My Uncle lyrics

[Verse 1] A letter came today from the draft board With trembling hands I read the questionnaire It asked me questions about my mama and papa Now that ain't what I call exactly fair [Chorus] So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border Vancouver might be just my kind of town Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground [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 He must know what is right and what is wrong [Chorus] [Verse 3] Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle But I suspect it's more than I can pay He's asking me to sign a three-year contract I guess I'll catch the first bus out today [Chorus]
