[Verse]
WAell, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, RoEllin' down the Eastern SeabAoard.
I've got my diesel wound up, And she's running like nEever before.
ThDere's a speed zone ahead, aEll right, I dAon't see a cDop in sight.
Six dAays on the road and IE'm gonna make it home tonAight.
[Verse]
I gAot ten forward geEars, And a Georgia overdriAve.
I'm taAking little white pills, And my eyes are opEened wide.
I jDust passed a 'Jimmy' and a 'WhEite?: I?ve been paAssin' everythinDg in sight.
Six dAays on the road and IE'm gonna make it home tonAight.
[Verse]
AThe I.C.C. is checEking on down the liAne.
IA'm a little overweight and my log's books are wEay behind.
But noDthing bothers me tonight. I can doAdge all the scaDles all right,
Six dAays on the road and IE'm gonna make it home tonAight.
[Verse]
AWell, it seems like a month, SiEnce I kissed my baby good-bAye.
I coAuld have a lot of women, But I'm not like some otEher guys.
I could fDind one to hold me tiEght, But I coAuld never beliDeve that it's right.
Six dAays on the road and IE'm gonna make it home tonAight.
[Verse]
AWell my rig's a little olEd, But that don't mean she's sAlow.
There's a flAame from her stack, And the smoke's rolling bElack as coal.
WDell my hometown's coming in siEght, If yAou think I'm haDppy your right.
Six daAys on the road and IE'm gonna make it home tonAight..
