Six Days On The Road

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
