Written by Earl Green
A E A
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down the Eastern seaboard
A E
Got my diesel wound up and she's a runnin' like never before
D E
There's a speed trap ahead alright
A D
But I don't see a cop in sight
A E A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
A E A
I got ten forward gears and a Georgia Overdrive
A E
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
D E
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
A D
I been passing everything in sight
A D A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
Instrumental Solo
A E A
Well it seems like a year since I kissed my baby goodbye
A E
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some of the guys
D E
I could find one to hold me tight
A D
But I could never make believe it's alright
A E A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
A E A
You know the ICC is a-checkin' on down the line
A E
I'm a little overweight and my log book's way behind
D E
But nothin' bothers me tonight
A D
I can dodge all the scales alright
A E A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
SOLO
A E A
My rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
A E
I've got a flame from the stack and the smoke's blowin' black as coal
D E
My home town's comin' in sight
A D
If you think I'm happy you're right
A E A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
A E A
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight
