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
