[Verse 1]
A
Well I pulled outta Pittsburgh
E                           A
A rollin' down that Eastern Seaboard
A
I got my diesel wound up
A                                E
And she's a runnin' like a never before
A         D                        E
There's a speed zone ahead, on the right
E A                  D
I don't see a cop in sight
D   A
Six days on the road
A         E                  A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight



[Verse 2]
A
I got me ten forward gears
A     E           A
And a Georgia overdrive
A
I'm takin' little white pills
A                    E
And my eyes are open wide
D                           E
I just passed a Jimmy and a White
E        A                     D
I been a passin' everything in sight
A
Six days on the road
E                            A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight

[Verse 3]
E       A
Well it seems like a month
A       E              A
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
A
I coulda had a lotta women
A                             E
But I'm not like a some other guys
A       D                   E
I could find one to hold me tight
E           A                       D
But I could never make believe it's alright
A
Six days on the road
A         E                  A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight



[Verse 4]
A        E                    A
ICC is a checkin' on down the line
A
Well I'm a little overweight
A                     E
And my log book's way behind
E   D                  E
But nothin' bothers me tonight
E     A                    D
I can dodge all the scales alright
A
Six days on the road
A         E                  A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight

[Verse 5]
A
Well my rig's a little old
E                         A
But that don't mean she's slow
A
There's a flame from her stack
A                                   E
And that smoke's a blowin' black as coal
E  D                      A
My hometown's a comin' in sight
A                                D
If you think I'm a happy, you're right
A
Six days on the road
A         E                  A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight



[Outro]
A
Six days on the road
A         E                  A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight
A
Six days on the road
A         E                  A
And I'm a gonna make it home tonight
