East Bound & Down Lyrics - The Essential Jerry Reed - 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 run 

Now 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 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 

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 

Old 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 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
