Uncle Pete Lyrics

my uncle pete was a trucker

 riding that nullarbour plain

 ten split gears and an overdrive

 chrome stacks shooting out flames.

 

 he'd throw me up into the cab

 my little hands would grip the wheel

 i would dream about the day

 i would drive that rig for real

 

 rolling, rolling, rolling around the world

 ten years old and ten feet tall, waving goodbye

 to the girl next door

 rolling, rolling today i'm the king of the street

 i got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging out

 as i drive off with uncle pete

 as i drive off with uncle pete

 

 heading west on highway one

 my eyes glued to the road

 the two-way always in my hand

 "little buddy" that's my code

 

 we pull into micks for a pie and chips

 not a brussel sprout in sight

 some yarns to spin as we listen to slim

 then we drive into the night

 

 if i had one wish i'd wanna be

 if i had one wish i'd wanna be

 if i had one wish i'd wanna be like my uncle pete
