"Six Days On the Road" by Dave Dudley

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, a-rollin' down that
Eastern Seaboard
I got my diesel wound up, and she's a-runnin' like 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 gonna make it home tonight

I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills, and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
I've 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 lot of women, but I'm not alike some of the
guys
I could find me one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's all right
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight

The I.C.C. is a-checkin' on down the line
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 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 her stack, and that smoke's a-blowin'
black as coal
My home town's a-comin' in sight
If you think I'm happy, you're right
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight
