Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Six Days on the Road

Well, I pulled outta Pittsburgh

A rollin' down that Eastern Sea board

I got my diesel wound up

And she's a runnin' like a never before.

There's a speed zone ahead alright

And I don't see a cop in sight

Six days on the road

And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

I got me ten forward gears

And a George overdrive

I'm takin' little white pills

And my eyes are open wide.

Well, I just passed a Jimmy in white

I been passin' everything in sight

Six days on the road

And I'm a 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 that sort of the guys.

I could find one to hold me tight

But I could never make believe it's alright

Six days on the road

And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Well, the ICC

Is checkin' on down the line

Well, I'm a little overweight

And my log book's way behind.

But nothin' bothers me tonight

I could dodge all the scales alright

Six days on the road

And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Well, my rig's a little old

But that don't mean she's slow

There's a flame from my stack

And that smoke's a blowin' like it's cold.

My hometown's a comin' in sight

If you think I'm a happy you're right

Six days on the road

And I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Six days on the road

And I'm a gonna make it home tonight...
