Six Days On The Road - The Flying Burrito Brothers

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh

I’m rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard

I’ve got my diesel wound up

She’s running like she never did 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 see my baby tonight

I’ve got ten forward gears

And a Georgiea overdrive

I’m taking little white pills

My eyes are open wide

Well I just passed a 'Jimmy' and a 'White

I’ve been passin' everything in sight

Six days on the road and I’m gonna see my baby tonight

Well it seems like a month

Since I kissed my baby good-bye

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 it’s right

Six days on the road and I’m gonna see my baby tonight

Well the I.C.C.

is checking down the line

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

But nothing bothers me tonight

I can dodge them scales all right

Six days on the road and I’m gonna see my baby tonight

Well my rig’s a little old

That don’t mean she’s slow

And the smoke’s rolling black as coal

Well my hometown’s coming in sight

If you think I’m happy you’re right

Six days on the road and I’m gonna see my baby tonight

Six days on the road and I’m gonna see my baby tonight

Six days on the road and I’m gonna see my baby tonight
