Lyrics

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 could have a lotta women, but I'm a-not a-like a-some of the guys 

I could find one to hold me tight 

But I could never make believe it's all right 

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


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 can dodge all the scales alright 

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


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

That's a flame from my 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
