"Six Days On The Road"

SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD
Writers Earl Green, Carl 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 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 I'm 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 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 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
