From Wikipedia:
"Six Days on the Road" is an American song written by Muscle Shoals songwriter Carl Montgomery and Earl Green made originally famous by country music singer Dave Dudley. Originally released in 1963, the song became a major hit that year and is often hailed as the definitive celebration of the American truck driver.

Many cover versions of "Six Days on the Road" have been recorded, with two of them becoming country hits. Steve Earle recorded the song for the 1987 movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles; his version reached No. 29 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in early 1988.

The most successful country remake was by Sawyer Brown. Released in February 1997, their version reached No. 13 later that spring. Despite failing to reach the Top 10, Sawyer Brown's "Six Days" remains a popular recurrent.

Others who have recorded "Six Days" include Boxcar Willie, George Thorogood and the Flying Burrito Brothers. However, at least according to Dahl, one of the best versions was a blues-rocking rendition recorded in 1969 by Taj Mahal.

This video was recorded by Jennifer Crockett.

This song wasn't originally done by the Flying Burrito Bros. in 1971. I'm pretty sure it was originally done in 1963 by Dave Dudley

Thanks, YoshBear, I'll have to check that out.

Just updated the description with info from Wikipedia. Turns out song written by a couple of songwriters and originally released by Dave Dudley in '63.

@YoshBear Yes your right, but the Burrito Brothers cover on the album "Last of the Redhot Burritos" is a very good cover and some say even better than Dave;s original release.
