Uncle Pete [live] Songtext
von Adam Brand

Well, my Uncle Pete was a trucker, he was riding that Nullarbor plain (come on)
Ten split gears and an overdrive, chrome stack shooting out flame
Well, he′d throw me up into the cab, my little hands would grip the wheel
And I would dream about the day, that I could drive that rig for real

And I went
Rolling, rolling
I'm rolling around the world
I′m ten years old and ten feet tall
Waving good bye to the girls next door
Rolling, rolling
Today I'm the king of my street
I got my sleeves rolled up and my arm's hanging out
As I drive off with Uncle Pete
As I drive off with Uncle Pete

We′re heading west on Highway One, my eyes are glued to the road
I got my two-way, it′s always in my hand and "little buddy", that's my code
We′d pull into Mick's for a pie and chips, not a brussel sprout in sight
Just some yarns to spin as we listen to Slim, then we drive into the night


And I′ll be
Rolling, rolling
I'm rolling around the world
I′m ten years old and ten feet tall
Waving goodbye to the girls next door
Rolling, rolling
Today I'm the king of my street
Got my sleeves rolled up and my arm's hanging out
As I drive off with Uncle Pete
As I drive off with Uncle Pete (drive off Glen)

And I′ll be
Rolling, rolling
I′m rolling around the world
I'm ten years old and ten feet tall
Showing off in front of the girls next door
Rolling, rolling
Today I′m the king of my street
I got my sleeves rolled up and my arm's hanging out
As I drive off with Uncle Pete

I got my sleeves rolled up and my arm′s hanging out
As I drive off with Uncle Pete
As I drive off with Uncle Pete

If I had one wish, I'd wanna be
And if I had one wish, I′d wanna be
If I had one wish, I wanna be
Like my Uncle Pete


Thank you
How you feeling tonight, everybody?
Oh, fantastic
Tonight we're gonna play you a heap of songs off my album
Also gonna play some ah, some well known golden oldies as well
And actually, speaking of a well know golden-
