SIX DAYS A-WAITING 
(Earl Green / Carl Montgomery / Earl Montgomery)

Kay Adams - 1966



Well he drove that old truck out six days ago
I just stood and I listened till I couldn't hear it roar no more
I've been a-waitin' for him at night
If you think I'm lonesome, you're right
Six days a-waitin' and he better make it home tonight

I keep real busy all day and part of the night
I just scrub and I polish everything there is in sight
Then I keep a-walkin' to the door
Waitin' for that truck to roar
Six days a-waitin' and he better make it home tonight

(Instrumental Break)

Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta fellas, but there's none like my guy
I could find one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's alright
Six days a-waitin' and he better make it home tonight

Well here I am a-lookin' out that door again
Yeah, I thought I heard that old truck turnin' in
Look at all those blinkin' lights
If you think I'm happy, you're right
Six days a waitin' and he's gonna make it home tonight
Six days a waitin' and my baby made it home tonight
Six days a waitin' and my baby made it home tonight
