East Bound and Down (from the motion picture “Smokey and the Bandit II”) Songtext
von Jerry Reed

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin′,
We're 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 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 Texarcana.
And we′ll bring it back no matter what it takes.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We′re 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′re 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.
Ol' Smokey′s got them ears on and he's hot on your trail.
He aint gonna rest 'til you′re in jail.
So you got to dodge ′im and you got to duck 'im,
You got to keep that diesel truckin′.
Just put that hammer down and give it hell.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin',
We′re 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.
