Six Days On The Road

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 over-drive
I’m passin little white lines 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 goodbye
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 its right
Six days on the road and I’m gonna make it home tonight

Instrumental

Well, the I.C.C. is checking on down the line
I’m a little overweight and my log books are 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 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 you’re 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
