SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD

Writers Earl Green, Carl Montgomery



Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh Rollin' down the Eastern

Seaboard I've got my diesel wound up And she's running

like never before There's a speed zone ahead,

all right I don't see a cop in sight Six days on the

road and I'm gonna make it home tonight I got ten forward

gears And a Georgia overdrive I'm taking little white

pills And my eyes are open wide I just passed a 'Gimmy'

and a 'White' I've been passin' everything in sight

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

Well, it seems like a month Since I kissed my baby

good-bye I could have a lot of women But I'm not like

some other guys I could find one to hold me tight But

I could never believe that it's right Six days on the

road and I'm gonna make it home tonight I.

C.C. is checking on down the line I'm a little overweight

and my log's three days behind But nothing bothers

me tonight I can dodge all the scales all right 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 her stack And the smoke's

rolling black as coal My hometown's coming in sight

If you think I'm happy your 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 Six days on

the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
