Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh
Rolling down the eastern sea border
I got my rig so wound up
And she's running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead on my right
But I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well my rig's a little low
But that don't mean that she's slow
There a flame from her stack
Blowing smoke as black as coal
My hotel's comin' in sight
If you think I'm happy all right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

I've got ten forward gears
And a sweet Georgia overdrive
I got the pedal to the metal
And my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white
I've been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road and I gotta see my baby tonight

The ICC is checking on down the line
I'm a little hung over
And my log book is way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
Just I can dodge them scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Yeah it seems like a year since I kissed my baby bye bye
I can have a lot of chicks but I'm not like some other guys
Yes I can find one to hold me tight
But you know it wouldn't be alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

I pulled out of Pittsburgh
Rolling down the eastern sea border
I got my rig wound up
And she's running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead on my right
But I can dodge the law all night
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I gotta see my baby tonight

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
