My Uncle — текст песни (Flying Burrito Brothers)

a letter came today from the draft board
with trembling hands I read the questionnaire
it asked me lots of things about my mama and papa
now that ain`t what I call exactly fair
so I`m heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may 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
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
so I`m heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may 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, yeah
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
so I`m heading for the nearest foreign border
Vancouver may 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
that tends to keep a good man underground
