Six Days on the Road Songtext
von Red Sovine

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 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 my George overdrive
I′m takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in 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

ICC is a checkin' on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book′s way behind
Well 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 some 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
