Six Days On The Road

Steve Earle

Composed by: Carl Montgomery/Dave Dudley/Earl Green
I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down the Eastern seaboard 
I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before 
There's a speed zone ahead on right and I ain't see a cop all night 
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight 

I got a ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive 
I take little white pills and my eyes are open wide 
I just passed a "Gimmy" and a "White" 
I've been smokin' everything in sight 
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight 

Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye 
And I can have a lot of women but I'm not like some other guys 
I can find one to hold me tight 
But I could never make believe it's alright 
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight 

Now the ICC's been a-checkin' on down the line 
I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind 
Nothing bothers me tonight 
I can dodge all them scales all right 
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight 

Well my rig's a little low, but that don't mean she's slow 
got the stacks blowin' fire and the smoke's blowing black as coal 
My hometown's coming in sight 
If you think I'm happy, you're right 
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
