Six Weeks In The Black(with apologies to Dave Dudley)
Well I put Jaques behind me and headed on back toward Zhen.
I got my Lakon fueled up and she's a-flyin' like I don’t know when
I've plotted my route all right
I'll be jumping and scooping all night.
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
I got boost injection and a modded frame-shift drive
I'm on Aganippe Rush and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a 'conda in flight
I been a-passin' everything in sight
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
Well it seems like a year since I left Zhen Dock behind
I could live anywhere but Space Poultry’s been plenty kind
Now I’m not the type to fight
But I’ll keep the market booming all right
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight
The Feds are a-scannin’ a few jumps up ahead
I've got salvage in the hold and a bounty on my head
But nothin' bothers me tonight
I can dodge that interdiction all right
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
Well my ship's a little tired, but that don't mean she's dead
There’s smoke in the air and the heat is in the red
The mailslot's a-comin' in sight
If you think I'm happy you're right
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
Six weeks in the black and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
