Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, rolling down that Eastern seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's a-running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, but alright
I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
I got me ten forward gears and a Georgia Overdrive
I'm takin' little white pills & my eyes are opened wide
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
I been passing everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm 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 a-like some other guys
I could find me one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
I.C.C. is a-checkin' on down the line
Well, I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight
I could dodge all the scales alright
Six days on the road and I'm 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 smokes blowing black as coal
Well my hometown's coming in sight
And if you think I'm happy, you're right!
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
