Six Days On The Road Lyrics - Hank Snow

Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard 

I got my diesel wound up and she's runnin' like she 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 ten forward gears and the George overdrive 

I'm taking 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 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 some of them guys 

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 gonna make it home tonight 

[ guitar ] 

Well the ICC is a checkin' on down the line 

I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind 

But nothin' bothers me tonight I could 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 surely don't means she's slow 

There's a flame from my stack and the smoke's a rollin' black as 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 gonna make it home tonight
