Lyrics
Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board
Starting my journey from Pittsburgh and traveling along the Eastern seaboard.
I got my diesel wound up and she's a runnin' like a never before
My diesel engine is revved up and running exceptionally well.
There's a speed zone ahead alright I don't see a cop in sight
Approaching a speed-restricted zone, but I don't see any police around.
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
I've been on the road for six days, but tonight I'm determined to reach home.
I got ten forward gears and my George overdrive
I have ten forward gears and an additional high gear (overdrive) for better performance.
I'm takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide
Taking stimulant pills to stay awake, my eyes wide open.
I just passed a Jimmy in white I been passin' everything in sight
I just overtook a GMC truck and have been passing everything in my path.
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Despite six days of continuous driving, tonight I'm determined to reach home.
Well it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
It feels like an extended period since I said goodbye to my beloved.
I could have a lotta women but I'm not like that sort of a guy
I might have opportunities with other women, but that's not who I am.
I could find one to hold me tight but I could never make believe it's alright
I could find comfort in someone else, but I can't pretend everything is fine.
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Despite the long duration on the road, I aim to get home tonight.
Well the ICC is checkin' on down the line
The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) is conducting checks along the route.
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
My vehicle is slightly over the weight limit, and my driving log is behind by three days.
But nothin' bothers me tonight I could dodge all the scales alright
Despite these issues, I'm confident I can avoid inspection stations.
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
Even after six days of driving, my determination to reach home tonight remains strong.
Well my rig's a little old but that don't mean she's slow
My truck may be old, but it doesn't mean it's slow.
There's a flame from my stack and that smoke's some blowin' like it's cold
There's noticeable exhaust from my truck's stack, perhaps due to cold weather.
My hometown's a comin' in sight if you think I'm happy you're right
I'm nearing my hometown, and if you think I'm excited, you're correct.
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight
After six days of continuous travel, I'm determined to reach home tonight.
