Six Days on the Road

E. Green, C. 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, but, 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 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

Well, the 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
