Adam Brand - 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
