Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh heading down that Eastern seaboard I got my diesel wound up and she's a running like never before There's a speed trap ahead on the right I don't see a cop in sight Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight I got me ten forward gears and a George Overdrive I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are opened wide I just passed a Jimmy and a White I been passing 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 goodbye I could have a lot of women but I'm not alike some other guys I could find me one to hold me tight But I could never make believe it's all right Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight I.C.C. is a checking on down the line Well I'm a little overweight but the law looks way behind But nothing bothers me tonight I can dodge all the scales all right Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight Well my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow There's a flame from her stack and that smokes been a blowing black as coal Well my home town's coming in sight And if you think I'm happy you're right Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
