[Verse]
AWell I pulled out of Pittsburg a Erollin down that eastern sea Aboard,
I got my diesel wound up and she's a rollin like a never beEfore.
There's a Dspeed zone ahead alE7right, 
But I Adon't see a cop in Dsight,
Six Adays on the road and I'm a Egonna make it home toAnight.
[Verse]
AI got me ten forward gears and a Egeorgia overAdrive,
I'm takin little white pills and my eye's are a open Ewide.
I just Dpassed a jimmy and a E7white, 
I've been a Apassin everything in Dsight,
Six Adays on the road and I'm a Egonna make it home toAnight.
[Verse]
AWell it seems like a month since I Ekissed my baby goodAbye,
I could have a lot of women but I'm not like some of the gEuy's.
Well I could Dfind on to hold me E7tight, 
I could Anever make my livin alDright.
Six Adays on the road and I'm a Egonna make it home toAnight.
[Verse]
AWell the ICC is a Echeckin on down the Aline,
I'm a little overweight and my log books way behEind.
But Dnothin bothers me toE7night, 
I can Adodge all the scales alDright,
Six Aday's on the road and I'm a Egonna make it home toAnight.
[Verse]
AWell my rigs a little old but Ethat don't mean she's Aslow,
There's a flame from her stack and smoke's blowin black as Ecoal.
And my Dhometown's comin in E7sight, 
If you Athink I'm happy your Dright,
Six Aday's on the road and I'm a Egonna make it home toAnight.
Six Aday's on the road and I'm a Egonna make it home toAnight.
