six days on the road (live)

Singer:fairport convention

well

i pulled out of pittsburgh down the eastern seaboard

i got my diesel wound up and she's a-running like never before

there's a speed zone ahead all right but i can't see a cop in sight

six days on the road and i'm gonna make it home tonight

i got ten forward gears and a george overdrive

i'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are opened wide

and i just passed a jimmy and white

been passing everything in sight

six days on the road and i'm gonna make it home tonight

well

the fbi is checkin' on down the line

well

i'm a little overweight but my log books way behind

but nothing bothers me tonight

i'm gonna dodge all the scales all right

six days on the road and i'm gonna make it home tonight

well

it seems like a month since i kissed my baby goodbye

i could have a lotta women but i'm not like some other guys

i could find me one to hold me tight but i could never make believe it's all right

six days on the road and i'm gonna make it home tonight

my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow

there's a good flame blowing from her smoke stack black as coal

well

my home town's coming in sight and if you think i'm happy you're right

six days on the road and i'm gonna make it home tonight

six days on the road and i'm gonna make it home tonight
