Well, he rode that old truck out six days ago
I just stood and I listened till I couldn't hear a roar no more
I've been waitin' for him at night if you think I'm lonesome you're right
Six days a waitin' and he better make it home tonight.

I keep real busy all day and tired all the night
I just scrub and I polish everything there is in sight
Then I keep a walkin' to the door waitin' for that truck to roar
Six days a waitin' and he better make it home tonight.


Well, it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta fellas but there's none like my guy
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright
Six days a waitin' and he better make it home tonight.

Well, here I am a lookin' out that door again
Well, I thought I heard that old truck turning in
Lookin' on this slickest night if you think I'm happy you're right
Six days a waitin' and he's gonna make it home tonight.

Six days a waitin' and my baby made it home tonight.
Six days a waitin' and my baby made it home tonight...
