(mmm-hmm) Back porch swing and a cup of tea
He’d sit right there and talk to me
About the world and how it spins
Where the road ends and the heart begins
Oh, my favorite uncle,
steady as a pine
Teaching me to walk a straight and honest line
With a laugh like thunder
and a heart of gold
The greatest story
that was ever told (yeah)
Grease on his hands from an old engine block
He never looked much at the ticking clock
He had all the time in the world to spare
Whenever I called, he was always there
Oh, my favorite uncle,
steady as a pine
Teaching me to walk a straight and honest line
With a laugh like thunder
and a heart of gold
The greatest story that was ever told
He taught me how to cast a line
To take my time and make it fine (mmm-hmm)
Yeah, I love my uncle
More than words can say
(thank you)
