Texas Bound And Flying

Well, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flying

I've got my ten in the wind
Let it all hang out again
Cause how're you gonna win
If you ain't trying?

Well, now we're all back together
And we're burning up the road
And that old Sheriff's out there
Dogging us again

He thinks he's really got it cooking
Plans to do a lot of booking
Only trouble he keeps looking
Where we've already been

So, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I'll be Texas bound
And a flying

Well, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I'll be Texas bound
And a flying

I've got my ten in the wind
Let it all hang out again
Cause how're you gonna win
If you ain't trying?

Now "Smokey And The Bandit"
Is a tale you don't forget
Cause every time you hear
An engine scream and whine
Well, you have to think about old Bandit
Old Buford
Frog and Fred and Snowman
Their story is a legend
That will live on in time

So, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I'll be Texas bound
And a flying
