Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rolling down that Eastern Sea board I got my diesel wound up and she's a running like a never before There's a speed zone ahead alright and I don't see a cop in sight Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight I got me ten forward gears and a George overdrive I'm taking little pink pills and my eyes are open wide I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passing everything in sight Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight [ guitar - piano ] Now my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow There's a flame from her stack and that smoke's some blowin' like it's cold My hometown's a coming in sight if you think I'm a 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
