"Six Days on the Road," performed by Red Sovine

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh
Rollin’ down that Eastern Seaboard
I’ve got my diesel wound up
And she’s running like never 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 make it home tonight

I got me ten forward gears
And a Georgia overdrive
I’m taking little white pills
And my eyes are open wide
I just passed a ‘Jimmy’ and a ‘White’
I’ve been passin’ everything in sight
Six days on the road and I’m gonna make it home tonight

First collected on the 1965 LP Little Rosa by Starday Records, this Earl Green/Carl Montgomery composition was included on the 2005 CD Red Sovine Greatest Hits on the Varèse Sarabande label.
