Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, a-rollin down that Eastern seaboard.

I got my diesel wound up & she's a-running like a-never before.

There's a speed zone ahead, well allright;

I don't see a cop in sight!

Six days on the road & I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
I got me ten forward gears & a Georgia Overdrive;
I'm takin' little white pills & my eyes are open wide.
I just passed a Jimmy & a White.
I been a-passing everything in sight;
Six days on the road & 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 a-none like some other guys
I could find me one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's allright
Six days on the road & I'm a-gonna make it home tonight
Inst... GDG
I.C.C. is a checkin on down the line.
Well I'm a little overweight and my log books are way behind...
But nothing bothers me tonight;
I can dodge all the scales allright!
Six days on the road & I'm a-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 & that smokes up a-blowin' black as coal.
My home town's a-comin’ in sight!
And if you think I'm happy, you're right!
