Six Days On The Road Lyrics - Bobby Bare

Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard 

I got my diesel wound up she's a goin' 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 passin' 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 

[ harmonica ] 

Well the ICC is a checkin' on down the line 

Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind 

But nothin' 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 blowin' black as coal 

Well my hometown'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 

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