Well, I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard
I got my diesel wound up and she's runnin' like she 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 ten forward gears and the Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passin' 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 like that some of them guys
I could find 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.

Well, the ICC is a checkin' on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
But nothin' 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 surely don't means she's slow
There's a flame from my stack and the smoke's a rollin' black as coal
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...
