My Uncle Pete was a trucker
|
Riding that Nullarbor 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 could 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 my 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 are 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
|
