[Em] [C] [A] [D]
[G] East bound and down, [A] loaded up and truckin'.
[F] We gonna [C] do what they say can't be [D] done.
We've got a [G] long way to go, and a [A] short time to get there.
I'm [F] east bound, just [D] watch ol' Bandit [G] run.

Keep your [Em] foot hard on the pedal. Son, [C] never mind them brakes...
Let it [A] all hang out 'cause [B7] we got a run to [Em] make.
The boys are [Em] thirsty in Atlanta.  And there's [C] beer in Texarkana
and we'll [A] bring it back no matter what it [B7] takes.

[G] East bound and down, [A] loaded up and truckin'.
[F] We gonna [C] do what they say can't be [D] done.
We've got a [G] long way to go, and a [A] short time to get there.
I'm [F] east bound, just [D] watch ol' Bandit [G] run.

Ol' [Em] Smokey's got them ears on.  He's [C] hot on your trail.
And he [A] ain't gonna [B7] rest 'til you're in [Em] jail.
So you got to [Em] dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im.
You got to [C] keep that diesel truckin'.
Just [A] put that hammer down and give it [B7] hell.

[G] East bound and down, [A] loaded up and truckin'.
[F] We gonna [C] do what they say can't be [D] done.
We've got a [G] long way to go, and a [A] short time to get there.
I'm [F] east bound, just [D] watch ol' Bandit [G] run.
