Six Days On The Road

Dave Dudley

Compositor: Carl Montgomery / Earl Green

Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down that Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's arunning like never before
There's a there'sa speed zone ahead allright
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 takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
I been passing 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 goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not alike some other guys
I could find me 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

I.C.C. is a checkin on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight but the log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I can dodge all the scales allright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack and that smokes blowin' black as coal
Well my home town's comming in sight
And if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
