Smokey and the Bandit, Eastbound and down

Jerry Reed
1977


East bound and down, loaded up and trucking,
We're 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.

Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

East bound and down, loaded up and trucking,
We're 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.


Ol Smokey's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail.
He ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail.
So you got to dodge em and you got to duck em,
You got to keep that diesel truckin.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.

East bound and down, loaded up and trucking,
We're 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.
