[Verse 1]
Dear, Uncle Sam
I know you're a busy man
And tonight, I write to you
Through tears with a tremblin' hand
My darlin' answered
When he got that call from you
You said you really need him
But you don't need him like I do

[Verse 2]
Don't misunderstand
I know he's fighting for our land
I really love my country
But I also love my man
He proudly wears the colors
Of the old red, white, and blue
While I wear a heartache
Since he left me for you

[Outro]
Dear, Uncle Sam
I just got your telegram
And I can't believe that this is me
Shakin' like I am
For it said, "I'm sorry to inform you..."
