Lyrics for Song: Six Days on the Road
Lyrics for Album: The English Side (w. Hillsiders) [RCA Victor] [1967]
(Earl Green - Carl Montgomery)
Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin' down that eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up, she's a goin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, alright, I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes're open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white well, I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
It seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight, I can never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, the ICC is a checkin' on down the line
Well, I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Well, my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from my stack and the smoke's blowin' black as coal
Well, my hometown's a comin' in sight, if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight...
