Six Days on the Road

(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.

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...
