Six Days on the Road Songtext
von Hank Snow

Well, I pulled outta Pittsburgh rolling down that Eastern Sea board
I got my diesel wound up, and she′s a running like she never before
There's a speed zone ahead, but alright, I don′t see a cop insight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight (gonna make it home tonight)

I got ten forward gears and the Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white, I been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road and I′m gonna make it home tonight (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 some of the 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 (gonna make it home tonight)

Well, the ICC is a checking on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log′s three days behind
But nothing bothers me tonight, I could dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight (gonna make it home tonight)

Well, my rig′s a little old, but it surely don't mean she's slow
There′s a flame from my stack and the smoke′s rolling back is cold
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
