Six Days on the Road

I Pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin down the Eastern seaboard.
I got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before.
There's a speed zone ahead on the right, but I don't see a cop in sight,
Six days on the road, now 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 a passing everything in sight,
Six days on the road, now 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 of the guys.
I could find one to hold me tight, but I could never make believe it's alright.
Six days on the road, now I'm gonna make it home tonight.

The I.C.C. is a-checkin on down the line.
Well, I'm a little overweight and my log books are way behind.
But nothing bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales all right,
Six days on the road, I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Well, my rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow.
There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's blowing black as coal.
My hometown's coming in sight, if you think I'm happy, you're right,
Six days on the road, now I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Six days on the road, now I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Willin'
Lyrics by Steve earl

I been drenched by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't ya know,
And I'm still willin'
Out on the road late last night,
Seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice

I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
I've driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
If you give me: weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign
I'll be willin' to be movin'

I've been kicked by the wind, robbed bythe sleet
Had my head stoved in, but I'm still onmy feet
And I'm still... willin'
Now I've smuggled some smokes and folks from down in Mexico
Baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico

And I been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
I've driven every kind of rig that's everbeen made
I've driven the back roads so I wouldn'tget weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign I'll be willin'to be movin' 



WHITE LINE FEVER  by Merle Haggard



CHORUS:

D     G    D               D                  A              D

White Line Fever         a Sickness born down deep within my soul

D     G    D               D                 A                     D    D7

White Line Fever       the Years keep flyin' by like the high line poles



VERSE:

    G              A                 D                  

The wrinkles in my forehead show the miles I've left behind me

        G                                         A

They continue to remind me   How fast I'm growin' old

                                     D

Guess I'll die with this fever in my soul.



BRIDGE:

                         A                D

Well, I wonder just what makes a man keep pushin' on

                   A                D  

Why must I keep on singin' this old highway song.

     G                  A               D  

I've been from coast to coast a hundred times or more,

    G                A                  D   

And I ain't seen one place that I ain't been before.
