Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh rolling down that Eastern seaboard

                                                                                     D

I got my diesel wound up & she's arunning like never before

               C                                   D                  G                       C

There's a speed zone ahead on the right and,  I don't see a cop in sight

Six days on the road & I'm gonna make it home tonight

                                               D                 G

I got  ten forward gears and a George Overdrive

                                                                           D

I'm takin' little white pills & my eyes are opened wide

       C                            D                      G                              C

I just passed a Jimmy and White,  I been passing everything in sight

The ICC is  checkin on down the line

Well I'm a little overweight but my law books way behind

      C                              D                        G                                C

But nothing bothers me tonight,  I'm gonna dodge all the scales allright

Well it beens six weels since I kissed my baby goodbye

                                                                                     D

I could have a lotta women but I'm not like some of the guys

           C                                 D                           G                                     C

I could find me one to hold me tight,  But I could never make believe it's allright

My rigs a little old but that don't mean she's slow

                                                                                                 D

There's a  good flame  blowing from her  smoke stack black as coal

            C                                      D                          G                                C

Well my home town's comming in sight,  And if you think I'm happy you're right
