East Bound And Down

East bound and down
Loaded up and trucking
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 east bound
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
And we'll bring it back
No matter what it takes

East bound and down
Loaded up and trucking
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 east bound
Just watch old bandit run

East bound and down
Loaded up and trucking
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 east bound
Just watch old bandit run

Old smokey's got them ears on
He's hot on your trail
And he ain't gonna rest
Till you're in jail

So you got to dodge him
You got to duck him
You got to keep that diesel trucking
Just put that hammer down
And give it hell

East bound and down
Loaded up and trucking
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 east bound
Just watch old bandit run
