Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh Rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard
I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before
There's a speed zone ahead all right but 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 a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a Jimmy and a White I've 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 good bye
I could have a lot of women but I'm not like 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 gonna make it home tonight

The I.C.C. is checking on down the line
Well I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
But nothing bothers me tonight I can 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 don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's rolling black as coal
My hometown's coming in sight If you think I'm happy your right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
