Six Days On The Road

(album: The English Country Side - 1967)

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rolling down that eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up, she's a going like 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 gonna make it home tonight.

I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes're open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white well, I been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

It seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight, I can never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Well, the ICC is a checking on down the line
Well, I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm 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 the smoke's blowing black as coal
Well, my hometown's a coming in sight, if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight...
