Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board

I got my diesel wound up and she's runnin' like a 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 a gonna make it home tonight



I got ten forward gears and George overdrive

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 a gonna make it home tonight



Well that ICC is checkin' on down the line

Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind

But nothin' bothers me tonight I could dodge all the scales alright

Six days on the road and I'm a 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 some other guys

I could find one to hold me tight I could never make believe it's alright

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



Oh my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow

There's a flame from my stack and she's a blowin' black as coal

My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm a happy you're right

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