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.

I could have a lot of women but I'm not like some of the guy's.

A E A
Six days on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

Six day's on the road and I'm a gonna make it home tonight.

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

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.
