Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin` down that Eastern Seaboard
I got my diesel wound up she`s a goin` like never before
There`s a speed zone ahead 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 taking little white pills and my eyes`re open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white well I been passin` everything in sight
Six days on the road and I`m gonna make it home tonight
It seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women but I`m not like some of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight I can never make believe it`s alright
Six days on the road and I`m gonna make it home tonight

Well the ICC is a checkin` on down the line
Well I`m a little overweight and my log book`s way behind
But nothin` bothers me tonight I can 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 my stack and the smoke`s blowin` black as coal
Well my hometown`s a comin` in sight 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
