Six Days On The Road

Dave Dudley


Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down that Eastern seaboard 
I got my diesel wound up and she's arunning like never before 
There's a there'sa speed zone ahead allright 
I don't see a cop in sight 
Six days on the road and I'm 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 passing everything in sight 
Six days on the road and I'm 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 alike some other guys 
I could find me one to hold me tight 
But I could never make believe it's allright 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 

I.C.C. is a checkin on down the line 
Well I'm a little overweight but the log book's way behind 
But nothing bothers me tonight 
I can dodge all the scales allright 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 

Well my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow 
There's a flame from her stack and that smokes blowin' black as coal 
Well my home town's comming in sight 
And if you think I'm happy you're right 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
