Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down that Eastern seaboard

I got my diesel wound up and she's arunning like never before

There's a there'sa speed zone ahead allright

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 and my eyes are open 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 alike some other guys

I could find me one to hold me tight

But I could never make believe it's allright

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 but the log book's way behind

But nothing bothers me tonight

I can dodge all the scales allright

Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight



Well my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow

There's a flame from her stack and that smokes blowin' black as coal

Well my home town's comming 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
