Adam Brand - Uncle Pete Lyrics
My Uncle Pete was a truckerRiding that Nullarbour PlainTen split gears and an overdriveChrome stacks shooting out flamesHe'd throw me up into the cabMy little hands would grip the wheelI would dream about the dayI could drive that rig for realRolling, rolling, rolling around the worldTen years old and ten feet tall,Waving goodbye to the girl next doorRolling, rolling,Today I'm the king of the streetI got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging outAs i drive off with uncle peteAs i drive off with uncle peteHeadin' West on Highway OneMy eyes glued to the roadThe two-way always in my hand"Little buddy" that's my codeWe pull into Micks for a pie and chipsNot a brussels sprout in sightSome yarns to spin as we listen to SlimThen we drive into the nightRolling, rolling, rolling around the worldTen years old and ten feet tall,Waving goodbye to the girl next doorRolling, rolling,Today I'm the king of the streetI got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging outAs i drive off with uncle peteAs i drive off with uncle peteRolling, rolling, rolling around the worldTen years old and ten feet tall,Showin off in front of the girl next doorRolling, rolling,Today I'm the king of the streetI got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging outAs i drive off with uncle peteAs i drive off with uncle peteIf i had one wish I'd wanna beIf i had one wish I'd wanna beIf i had one wish I'd wanna be like my Uncle Pete
