A                                E                            A 
Well I pulled out of Pittsburg a rollin down that eastern sea board, 
                                                           E 
I got my diesel wound up and she's a rollin like a never before. 
          D                  E7          
There's a speed zone ahead alright,  
      A                  D 
But I don't see a cop in sight, 
    A                          E                    A 
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight. 
 
A                                E           A 
I got me ten forward gears and a georgia overdrive, 
                                                     E 
I'm takin little white pills and my eye's are a open wide. 
       D                    E7       
I just passed a jimmy and a white,  
            A                    D 
I've been a passin everything in sight, 
    A                          E                    A 
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight. 
 
A                                  E                  A 
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye, 
 	  	  	  	  	  	          E 
I could have a lot of women but I'm not like some of the guy's. 
             D                  E7          
Well I could find on to hold me tight,  
        A                     D 
I could never make my livin alright. 
    A                          E                    A 
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight. 
 
A                 E                   A 
Well the ICC is a checkin on down the line, 
 	  	  	  	  	        E 
I'm a little overweight and my log books way behind. 
    D                   E7    
But nothin bothers me tonight,  
      A                      D 
I can dodge all the scales alright, 
    A                           E                    A 
Six day's on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight. 
 
A                             E                     A 
Well my rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow, 
                                                           E 
There's a flame from her stack and smoke's blowin black as coal. 
       D                   E7       
And my hometown's comin in sight,  
       A                    D 
If you think I'm happy your right, 
    A                           E                    A 
Six day's on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight. 
    A                           E                    A 
Six day's on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.
