A life-long renegade, singer/songwriter David Allan Coe was one of the most colorful and unpredictable characters in country music history. One of the pioneering artists of the outlaw country movement of the '70s, he didn't have many big hits — only three of his singles hit the Top Ten — but he was among the biggest cult figures in country music throughout his career. Born in Akron, OH, Coe first got into trouble with the law at age nine. As a result, he was sent to reform school. For the next 20 years, he never spent more than a handful of months outside of a correctional facility — he spent much of his twenties in the Ohio State Penitentiary.

Six Days On The Road Lyrics

David Allan Coe

Six Days on the Road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh headed down the eastern seaboard.
I got my deisel wound up and she's runnin' like never before.
My hometown's commin' in sight, if you think I'm happy your 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 lot of women, but I'm not like some other guys.
I could have one to hold me tight,
but I could never make believe its alright.
Six Days on the Road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Well the ICC is a checkin' on down the line.
I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind.
Nothin' bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales alright.
Six Days on the Road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Got a ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive.
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide.
I just passed a Jimmy and White, I've been passin' everything in sight.
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.
