Flying Burrito Brothers Six Days On The Road by Earl Green
Carl Montgomery
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down that Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up & she's arunning like never before
There's a speed zone ahead on the right and
I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
I got ten forward gears and a George Overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills & my eyes are opened wide
I just passed a Jimmy and White
I been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
SOLO
The ICC is checkin on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight but my law books way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I'm gonna dodge all the scales allright
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well it beens six weels since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I'm not alike some other guys
I could find me one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's allright
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
SOLO
My rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow
There's a good flame blowing from her smoke stack
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 & I'm gonna make it home tonight
