East Bound & Down (Jerry Reed)

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin'

We gonna do what they say can't be done

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit runNow keep your foot hard on the pedal, son, never mind them brakes

Let it all hang out 'cause we've got a run to make

Well the boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana

And we'll bring it back no matter what it takesEast bound and down, loaded up and truckin'

We gonna do what they say can't be done

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit runEast bound and down, loaded up and truckin'

We gonna do what they say can't be done

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit runOld Smokey's got them ears on, he's hot on your trail

And he ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail

So, you gotta dodge him, you gotta duck him

You gotta keep that diesel truckin'

Put that hammer down and give it hellEast bound and down, loaded up and truckin'

We gonna do what they say can't be done

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there

I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
