Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh
I'm rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard
I've got mydiesel wound up

She's running like she never did before
There's a speed zone ahead, all right
I don't see a cop in sight

Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight

I've got ten forward gears

And a Georgiea overdrive
I'm taking little white pills
My eyes are open wide

Well I just passed a 'Jimmy' and a 'White
I've been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight


Well it seems like a month
Since I kissed my baby good-bye

Could have a lot of women
But I'm not like some other guys
I could find one to hold me tight

But I could never believe it's right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight


Well the I.C.C. is checking down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
But nothing bothers me tonight

I can dodge them scales all right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight


Well my rig's a little old
That don't mean she's slow
And the smoke's rolling black as coal

Well my hometown's coming in sight
If you think I'm happy you're right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight

Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight
