- East Bound And Down Lyrics(chorus)
East bound and down
loaded up and truckin'
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.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Ol' Smokey's got them ears on
and he's hot on your trail
He aint 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
(chorus)
East bound and down
loaded up and truckin'
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
no matter what it takes.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Ol' Smokey's got them ears on
and he's hot on your trail
He aint 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
(chorus)
