Emmylou Harris - 6 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 runnin like a never before
There's a speed zone ahead but
Alright, I don't see a cop insight
Six days on the road and
I'm a gonna make it home tonight

I got ten forward gears and
A Georgia overdrive
I'm passin little white lines
And my eyes are open wide
Just passed a Jimmy and a White,
I've passin everything in sight
Six days on the road 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 lot women but
I'm not like some other guys
I could find one hold me tight,
But I could never make believe
It's right
Six days on the road and
I'm a gonna make it home tonight

Well the ICC is a checkin on
Down the line
I'm a little over weight and
My log books are way behind
But nothin bothers me tonight,
I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and
I'm a gonna make it home tonight

My rigs a little old but that
Don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack
And the smoke is rollin black as cool
My home town's comin in sight,
If you think I'm 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

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