Lyrics :
Cowboys and cattlemen, how do?
Yeah
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" 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
We'll bring it back no matter what it takes
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" run
Ol' Smokey's got them ears on
He's hot on your trail
He ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail
So you got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im
You got to keep that diesel truckin'
Put that hammer down and give it hell
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" run
I _____ I'm east bound just watch ol' "Bandit"
run
I'm east bound and _________ it's ok
It's ok
It's ok
