Six Days On The Road
Written by Earl Green and Carl Montgomery
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down that Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's a-running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead on my right but I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well I got ten forward gears and that sweet Georgia overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed Jimmy in white
If you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well it seems like a year since I kissed my baby bye-bye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some other guys
I could find one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's allright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well the ICC is a-checkin on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I can dodge all those scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well my rigs a little low but that don't mean she's slow
Smoke stacks blowing and the whole thing's black as coal
My home town's coming 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
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
