Six Days on the Road

(Earl Green - Carl Montgomery)



Well, I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board

I got my diesel wound up and she's a runnin' like a 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 a gonna make it home tonight.



I got me ten forward gears and my George overdrive

I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide

I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passin' everything in sight

Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.



Well, it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye

I could have a lotta women but I'm not like that sort of a guy

I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright

Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.



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 a 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 that smoke's some blowin' like it's coal

My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm a happy you're right

Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.



Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight...
