well i pulled outta pittsburgh
a rollin’ down that eastern seaboard
i got my diesel wound up
and she’s a runnin’ like a never before
there’s a speed zone ahead well 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 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 a passin’ everything in sight
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 coulda had a lotta women
but i’m not like a some other 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 a gonna make it home tonight
4
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 a gonna make it home tonight
5
well my rig’s a little old
but that don’t mean she’s slow
there’s a flame from her stack
and that smoke’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
six days on the road
and i’m a gonna make it home tonight
six days on the road
and i’m a gonna make it home tonight
