Six Days On The Road
Dave Dudley

       A                        E                            A
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down that eastern seaboard
                                                          E
I got my diesel wound up and she's a running like never before
          D                     E
There's a speed zone ahead but alright
  A                  D 
I don't see a cop in sight
    A                        E                    A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

         A                       E           A
I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia Overdrive
                                                     E
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are opened wide
       D                    E
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
       A                     D
I been passing everything in sight
    A                        E                    A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

        A                          E                  A
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
                                                        E
I could have a lotta women but I'm not alike some other guys
        D                      E
I could find me one to hold me tight
            A                         D
But I could never make believe it's alright
    A                        E                    A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

A           E                    A
I.C.C. is a checkin' on down the line
                                                     E
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
    D                    E
But nothing bothers me tonight
        A                      D
I could dodge all the scales alright
    A                        E                    A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

        A                     E                     A
Well my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow
                                                              E
There's a flame from her stack and that smokes blowin' black as coal
        D                     E
Well my home town's coming in sight
           A                      D
And if you think I'm happy you're right
    A                        E                    A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
