speaking of AC/DC last night our 13 year old daughter wanted to go for a drive. She gets to pick a playlist, (she likes that for 'Daddy daughter' time during our lockdown). In her playlist, she played Highway to Hell - I was equally proud and worried at the same time. But I thought that one belongs on our list.
 
"Six Days On The Road" - Dave Dudley (1963)

Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh
A rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard
I got my diesel wound up
And she's a runnin' like a never before
There's a speed zone ahead, well 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 Georgia overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills
And my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
I been a passin' 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 lotta women
But I'm not like a 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

ICC is a checkin' on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight
And my log book's a way behind
But nothin' bothers me tonight
I can dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road
And I'm a 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 that smoke's a blowin' black as 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




And then there's that other "Truckin'" song by some Dead guys....

Hmmm - had to wiki Dave Dudley. So, sounds like he had a lot of success earlier in his career. That song is pretty cool actually.
 
Reminds me of Tom Cruise and Rebecca DeMornay on the train in Risky Business. A train ride with a happy ending LOL.
It's funny you say that, because my answer is 'Love on a Real Train' by TD. It has to be nighttime/twilight, though. Windows down, wind in the hair.
