Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh
a-rollin' down that U.S.C.
board.
I got my diesel wound up
and she's a-runnin' like never before.
There she speaks on her head all right,
but I don't see a cop in sight.
Six days on the road and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
I got ten Ford gears and a Georgia Overdrive.
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide.
I just passed a Jimmy and a wife.
I've been 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 good-bye.
I could have a lot of women,
but I'm not like some of the guys.
I could find one to hold me tight,
but I can't make believe it's all right.
Six days on the road and I'm a-gonna make it home tonight.
Well, I see she is checkin' on down the line.
I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind.
But nothin' bothers me tonight.
I can dodge all her skills all right.
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.
There's a flame from her stack and
the smoke's a-blowin' black as coal.
Well, my hometown's comin' in sight.
If you think I'm 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.
