She's My Ute

Kickin' past the dealers on the edge of town Saw a lot of pretty pickups Not a Ute to be found Twin cam Jap fours A bloke'd be nuts Give me a six or an eight A four wheel mate The dents and the dust And the grasshopper guts She's got holes in the muffler And a gear-box clunk I've cursed her and called her a piece of old junk When the work's been done at the end of the day She's my Ute I'll keep it that way She's my Ute and she's here to stay You can see them blow-ins In their four by fours Jumpin' up and down 'bout a scratch on the door But I've got a yarn for every dent A big red roo, pig or two A hole in the roof that Col shot through She's got holes in the muffler And a gear-box clunk I've cursed her and called her a piece of old junk When the work's been done at the end of the day She's my Ute I'll keep it that way She's my Ute and she's here to stay Well I had a girl but she laid down the law She said you can't keep that dirty old Ute anymore There comes a point when a man's gotta choose Well I told her straight I'll stick with my mate She's been gone a year But the Ute's still here She's got holes in the muffler And a gear-box clunk I've cursed her and called her a piece of old junk When the work's been done at the end of the day She's got holes in the muffler And a gear-box clunk I've cursed her and called her a piece of old junk When the work's been done at the end of the day She's my Ute I'll keep it that way She's my Ute and she's here to stay --- She's My Ute - Lee Kernaghan
