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 ( harmonica ) 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
