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 
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 'Gimmy' 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 believe that it's right 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
I.C.C. is checking on down the line 
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days 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 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 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight 
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
