Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board I got my diesel wound up and she's a runnin' like a never before There's a speed zone ahead alright I don't see a cop in sight Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight I got me ten forward gears and a George overdrive I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide I just passed me a Jimmy in white I been passin' everything in sight Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight Yeah it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye I could have a lotta women but I'm not like that sort of a guy I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight Oh the ICC is checkin' on down the line I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind But nothin' bothers me tonight I could dodge all the scales alright Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight Yeah my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow There's a flame from my stack and that smoke's some blowin' like it's coal My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm a happy you're right Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
My post yesterday in Reparations For Black Californians: Ahhh, the pleasures of victimhood. As a white guy I'm dwarfed by my own guilt. I owe, I owe, it's off to work we go. See? I've already got that song running through my head. You're losing the war. Better give it up !

If anyone actually watched the "Six Days on the Road" video, did you notice the truck from Duel?? What a great movie that was.
The video is just a bunch of pictures; there are some from Smokey and the Bandit, too. (1977) The Duel truck is at 2:23 on the video.
I'm a little slow. Of course the video wasn't put together in 1961 but features later photos. I've listened to and watched, the video several times.The song is really a classic and has some lyrics that surprise me. I got me ten forward gears and a George overdrive I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide I guess in1961 drug use among long haul truckers was accepted.
