Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh and I'm rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard

I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never she's never done before before.

There's a speed zone ahead, all right, but, I don't see a cop in sight

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

I got ten forward gears and a sweet Georgia overdrive

I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide

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

I could have a lot of women but I'm not like some other guys

I could find one to hold me tight, but I just don't believe that it's right

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

Well, the I.C.C. is checking on down the line

I'm a little overweight and my logbook is three days behind

But ain't nothing bothers me tonight, I can dodge them scales alright

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

Well, my rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow

There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's rolling black as coal

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
