Six Days on the Road Songtext
von George Jones

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 alright
And 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
Well, I just passed a Jimmy and White
And I′ve 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 a-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

Well, the ICC is a-checkin' on down the line
Well, I′m a little overweight and my logbooks are 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 a-blowin' black as coal
Oh yeah, my hometown's 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
