Six Days On The Road Johnny Rivers

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, rolling down the Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up, and she's a-runnin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, alright
But 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 a George Overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills, and my eyes are opened wide
I just passed a Jimmy and White
I 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 lotta women, but I'm not like some other guys
I could find me 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

The FBI is checkin' on down the line
Well, I'm a little overweight, but my log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I'm gonna dodge all the scales, alright
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight

My rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow
There's a good flame blowing from her smokestack, black as coal
Well, my home town's comming in sight
And if you think I'm happy, you're right
Six days on the road, and I'm gonna make it home tonight
