Red Sovine – Six Days On The Road lyrics

Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a-rollin' down that Eastern Sea board
I got my diesel wound up and she's runnin' like-a never before
There's a speed zone ahead well 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 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 a-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-a some of the guys
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
[ guitar ]
ICC is a-checkin' on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's a-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 her stack and that smoke's a-blowin' like it's 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
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
