Six Days on the Road
words and music by
green/montgomery

well I pulled out of pittsburgh
rolling down the eastern seaboard
i’ve got my diesel wound up
and she’s running like a never before
there’s a speed zone ahead but 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 ten forward gears
and a georgia overdrive
i’m taking little white pills
and my eyes are open wide
just passed a jimmy and a white,
i’ve been passing everything in sight
six days on the road
and i’m a gonna make it home tonight

well it seems like a month
since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lot women
but i’m not like some other guys
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

well the icc is a checking on down the line
i’m a little over weight
and my log books are way behind
but nothing bothers me tonight,
I can dodge all the scales alright
six days on the road
and i’m a gonna make it home tonight

my rigs a little old
but that don’t mean she’s slow
there’s a flame from her stack
and the smoke is blowing black as coal
my home town’s coming in sight,
if you think i’m happy you’re right
six days on the road
and i’m a gonna make it home tonight

about

John Greene Music Falmouth, UK

John Greene's music is a reflection of his turbulent, non-conformist life and is based on early rock and roll, the pop explosion of the 60’s, the blues and many things Americana.
Best described as ‘Hard Country’, it lives in the space also occupied by the likes of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. It always involves his unique viewpoint on the world he has lived in and the troubles we all share.
