Six Days Back At Home Songtext
I'm pullin' out of the driveway
Headin' for One-Oh-Five.
The wife and kids are too busy
To wave me goodbye.
They're glad they have me outta site.
And I feel like a bird in flight.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.

Mom and Pop Truck stop ahead bout a mile or two.
And they can cook my grits better than my darlin' can do.
And there's a waitress, Betsy White...
If I ask her to do it, she might.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.

It's been six long days
Listenin' to that woman complain...
Kids playin rock and roll
Loud enough to fry my brain.
Up ahead I see them highway lights.
If you think I'm happy, you're right!
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.

I hear Honky Tonk Harry's got a hot country band.
And lots of good ol' boys just waitin' to shake my hand.
If I show up a little bit tight,
A motel... that's all right.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.

I've been cleanin out the basement, paintin', and haulin' out trash
Puttin' up screens, and a-weedin' and a-cuttin' the grass.
I've been fixin' everything in sight,
But I never seem to do it right.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.

I got my CB buzzin and I'm rollin' on down the hill.
Who's got some Preparation H and maybe a little white pill?
Yeah... he's tellin' bout his bar room fight.
Yeah... they're braggin where the cat fish bite.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.
Six days back at home and I'm ready for the road tonight.
