Lyric 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...
