Six Days On The Road
(E. Green, C. Montgomery) I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down the Eastern seaboard I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before There's a speed zone ahead on right and I ain't see a cop all night Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight I got a ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive I take little white pills and my eyes are open wide I just passed a "Gimmy" and a "White" I've been smokin' everything in sight Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye And I can have a lot of women but I'm not like some other guys I can find one to hold me tight But I could never make believe it's alright Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Now the ICC's been a-checkin' on down the line I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind Nothing bothers me tonight I can dodge all them scales all right Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Well my rig's a little low, but that don't mean she's slow Got the stacks blowin' fire and the smoke's blowing black as coal My hometown's coming in sight If you think I'm happy, you're right Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight Aus Songtexte Mania
