Easy Rider movie - My Uncle lyrics

rate me

Song by The Flying Burrito Brothers<br /><br>

A letter came today from the draft board<br>

With trembling hands I read the questionnaire<br>

It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa<br>

Now that ain't what I call exactly fair<br>

So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border<br>

Vancouver may be just my kind of town<br>

Because they don't need the kind of law and order<br>

That tends to keep a good man underground<br>

A sad old soldier once told me a story<br>

About a battlefield that he was on<br>

He said a man should never fight for glory<br>

He must know what is right and what is wrong<br>

So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border<br>

Vancouver may be just my kind of town<br>

Because they don't need the kind of law and order<br>

That tends to keep a good man underground, yeah now, <br>

I don't know how much I owe my uncle<br>

But I suspect it's more than I can pay<br>

He's asking me to sign a three-year contract<br>

I guess I'll catch the first bus out today<br>

So I'm heading for the nearest foreign border<br>

Vancouver may be just my kind of town<br>

Because they don't need the kind of law and order<br>

That tends to keep a good man underground<br>

That tends to keep a good man underground<br>
