Eastbound and Down

Jerry Reed

from Smokey and the Bandit



Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'

Ah 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 eastbound, just watch old 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



Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'

Ah 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 eastbound, just watch old Bandit run



Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'

Ah 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 eastbound, just watch old 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've got to dodge him, you've got to duck him

You gotta keep that diesel truckin'

Just put that hammer down and give it hell



Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'

Ah 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 eastbound, just watch old Bandit run
