"Six Days On The Road" lyrics - THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS

Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down the Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up & she's arunning like never before
There's a speed zone ahead alright but
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]

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 allright
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight

The FBI is checkin on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight but my log 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

[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
