Six Days On The Road Lyrics By Dave Dudley

    well i pulled outta pittsburgh
    a rollin’ down that eastern seaboard
    i got my diesel wound up
    and she’s a runnin’ like a never before
    there’s a speed zone ahead well alright
    i don’t see a cop in sight
    six days on the road
    and i’m a gonna make it home tonight

    i got me ten forward gears
    and a georgia overdrive
    i’m takin’ little white pills
    and my eyes are open wide
    i just passed a jimmy and a white
    i been a passin’ everything in sight
    six days on the road
    and i’m a gonna make it home tonight

    well it seems like a month
    since i kissed my baby goodbye
    i coulda had a lotta women
    but i’m not like a some other 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 a gonna make it home tonight

    4
    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 a gonna make it home tonight

    5
    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 hometown’s a comin’ in sight
    if you think i’m a happy you’re right
    six days on the road
    and i’m a gonna make it home tonight

    six days on the road
    and i’m a gonna make it home tonight
    six days on the road
    and i’m a gonna make it home tonight
