Six Days on the Road Songtext
von Dave Dudley

Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh
A-rollin′ down that eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's a-runnin′ like a-never before
There's a speed zone ahead, well, all right
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 a-not a-like a-some of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight


But I could never make believe it's all right
Six days on the road and I′m a-gonna make it home tonight
ICC is 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 all right
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
That's a flame from my stack and that smoke′s a-blowin' black as 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
