Lyrics Johnny Rivers

Johnny Rivers

Six Days On The Road

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh

Rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard

I've got my diesel wound up

And she's running like never before

There's a speed zone ahead, all right

I don't see a cop in sight

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

I got ten forward gears

And a Georgia overdrive

I'm taking little white pills

And my eyes are open wide

I just passed a 'Gimmy' and a 'White'

I've been passin' everything in sight

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

Well, it seems like a month

Since I kissed my baby good-bye

I could have a lot of women

But I'm not like some other guys

I could find one to hold me tight

But I could never believe that it's right

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

I.C.C. is checking on down the line

I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind

But nothing bothers me tonight

I can dodge all the scales all right

Six days on the road and I'm 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 her stack

And the smoke's rolling black as coal

My hometown's coming in sight

If you think I'm happy your right

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

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

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