Six Days On The Road
by Green / Montgomery 
recording of 1991 
from 
Boogie People (EMI E2-92514) 
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh, 
rolling down the eastern sea border 
I got my rig so wound up, 
and she's running like never before 
There's a speed zone ahead on my right, 
but I don't see a cop in sight 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
Well my rig's a little low, 
but that don't mean that she's slow 
There a flame from her stack, 
blowing smoke as black as coal 
My hotel's comin' in sight, 
if you think I'm happy all right 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
I've got ten forward gears, 
and a sweet Georgia overdrive 
I got the pedal to the metal, 
and my eyes are open wide 
I just passed a Jimmy in white, 
I've been passing everything in sight 
Six days on the road and I gotta see my baby tonight 
The ICC is checking on down the line, 
I'm a little hung over 
And my log book is way behind, 
but nothing bothers me tonight 
Just I can dodge them scales alright 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
Yeah, it seems like a year since I kissed my baby bye bye, 
I can have a lot of chicks but I'm not like some other guys 
Yes, I can find one to hold me tight, 
but you know it wouldn't be alright 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
I pulled out of Pittsburgh, 
rolling down the eastern sea border 
I got my rig wound up, 
and she's running like never before 
There's a speed zone ahead on my right, 
but I can dodge the law all night 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
Six days on the road and I gotta see my baby tonight
