Hank Snow – Six Days On The Road lyrics

Written by Earl Green and Carl Montgomery
Recorded by Hank Snow

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 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 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

Well the ICC is checkin' on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight I could 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 SHE'S blowin' BLACK AS COAL
My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
