Dave Dudley is the singer who put Six Days on the map. A lot of people thought Dave got rich off the song. However nothing could be further from the truth. Six Days on The Road was written by Earl Green & Carl Montgomery. The song was initially sang by a dude named Paul Davis. Davis’ version of the song went nowhere real fast until it was offered to the leader of a band called The Dave Dudley Trio. Dave Dudley struck Gold and the tune went to the top of the charts in multiple countries. A million unit seller which reaped millions of dollars for the original writers Green & Montgomery, but without writing or publishing credits Dave Dudley was paid a flat rate to cut the song, The only way Dave could see any money from the song was to tour. And tour he did. Dave Dudley played one nighters and variety shows from Boston to Saint Lou, Seattle to Miami and every gin joint in between, He didn’t get rich but between his touring and the albums he did cut he was able to carve out quite a niche for himself . Often considered the Godfather of Truck Driving music, he was able to provide a comfortable life for himself and his family. At one time he owned his own little club in the middle of the woods and would perform there often. What a true American success story. Dave Dudley died on December 22,2003 of a massive heart attack in his home state of Wisconsin.
My dad was a gear jammer , I asked him what a Georgia Overdrive was , he said, when you start down a mountain , you put her in neutral, and let her go !
Ha! I just realized the verse "I'm a little over weight and my log book's way behind" is referring to his truck being over weight, not himself. The light went on when the following verse talked about dodging the scales where you are supposed to pull up and have your load weighed. Hehe, after listening to this song, how many times?

My Uncle Dave... thank you for sharing this. Sure love seeing him. He was young here!
Your Uncle was the real thing. Spent 37 years in a big truck mainly because songs like these when I was 4 years old.
Your Uncle??!
@@russneese1004 yup. He married my aunt Karen and they even did a few songs together :-) he brought me up on stage when he played in town. I was itty bitty
Dana, You're uncle was one heck of a good singer! My goal, to get all of his albums!!!

I did 37 years in a big truck retired now but this makes me wanna grab some of the grandkids ADHD meds. Load up and head for the shakey.
Six forward gears and Georgia overdrive.
Dave, you make me wanna clear the pipes and put the pedal to the metal!
A true classic.
Great song I am only 18 and I know all the classics
Super Dave 🚚 🛻 🚛 🚒 ...Minnesota man 👍💕
he played a show here in Australia and we went wild!!! he loved our beer also,crowd loved you Mr Dudley
I love putting on these old trucking songs when it's 3AM and I'm rollin' down the big slab in my '99 Pete.
God bless our truckers! I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Without you, our country grinds to a halt. Stay safe, Pal. ❤
When country music was actually country
Yes
Yes indeed!
I just love this song. It's simple but sums up life on the road perfectly.

Ha! I just realized the verse "I'm a little over weight and my log book's way behind" is referring to his truck being over weight, not himself.

better version is the one from Hee Haw
Not many people know this… but Dave Dudley was actually black. 😂
No auto tune?!?! No time alignment?!?! Are you sure this is country?!?!... The last thirty years of country music was created by the devil himself.
