Lyrics

I pulled out of Pittsburgh, rollin' down the eastern seaboard
I've got my diesel wound up she's runnin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead alright, I ain't seen a cop all night
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
I got my ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I've just passed a Jimmy in a white
I've been smokin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
Well I could have a lot of women but I'm not like some other guys
I can find one to hold me tight
But I could never make believe it's alright
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
Hey!
Now the ICC's been a-checkin' on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
Nothing bothers me tonight
Well I can dodge them scales all right
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
Now my rig's a little low but that don't mean she's slow
Got the stacks spoutin' fire and the smoke's blowing black as coal
Now my hometown's coming in sight
If you think I'm happy, you're right
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
Six days on the road and now I'm gonna make it home tonight
Whoa!
