SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD
(Earl Green - Carl Montgomery)
© ′58 Southern Arts Music, BMI

Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board
I got my diesel wound up and she′s a runnin' like a 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 a gonna make it home tonight
I got me ten forward gears and my George overdrive
I'm takin′ little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I′m a 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 like that sort of a guy
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it′s alright
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
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 a 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 that smoke's some blowin' like it′s coal
My hometown′s a comin' in sight if you think I′m a happy you're right
Six days on the road and I′m a gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I′m a gonna make it home tonight
