East Bound & Down/loaded up and Truckin -- Jerry Reed
(The Smokie and the Bandit Song)
--this sounds more authentic if you hammer the d note from c#
(b string) when playing the D chord. :)
[Chorus]
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin
a 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 ole Bandit run.
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin
a 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 ole Bandit run.
[Solo]
[Chorus]
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin
a 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 ole Bandit run.
[Verse]
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
just put that hammer down and give it hell
[Chorus]
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin
a 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 ole Bandit run.
[Outro]
