Six Days on the Road Songtext

von Flying Burrito Brothers

Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down the Eastern seaboard
F#
I got my diesel wound up & she's arunning like never before
E F#
There's a speed zone ahead alright but
B E
I don't see a cop in sight
B F# B
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
B F# B
I got ten forward gears and a George Overdrive
B F#
I'm takin' little white pills & my eyes are opened wide
E F#
I just passed a Jimmy and White
B E
I been passing everything in sight
B F# B
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight

SOLO
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
F#
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some other guys
E F#
I could find me one to hold me tight
B E
But I could never make believe it's allright
B F# B
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight

B F# B
The FBI is checkin on down the line
B F#
Well I'm a little overweight but my log books way behind
E F#
But nothing bothers me tonight
B E
I'm gonna dodge all the scales allright
B F# B
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
B F# B
W
SOLO

B F# B
My rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow

There's a good flame blowing from her smoke stack
F#
Black as coal
E F#
Well my home town's comming in sight
B E
And if you think I'm happy you're right
B F# B
Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight
