Cowboys and centlemenn, how do



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 peddle, son, never mind them brakes 

Let it all hang out 'cause we've 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 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 

I am east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run

I'm east bound and down, it's okay

It's okay

It's okay
