Jerry Reed - East Bound And Down Lyrics






East bound and down load it up and truck it
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 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 Texarkana
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes

East bound and down load it up and truck it...

East bound and down load it up and truck it...

Ol' Smokey's got them ears on he's hot on your trail
He ain't gonna rest till 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 load it up and truck it...

Jerry Reed East Bound And Down Comments
  1. c.... j....

    I’m Eastbound just watch old Bandit run

  2. R.... T....

    Reminds me of when I used to drive from Milwaukee to Illinois at night. I was a lone 1991 Toyota Tercel sharing the road with 15 big rigs. I felt like ol Smokey

  3. j.... w....

    my fav country song to play on my electric guitar

  4. J.... L....

    Sheer country music.Period.

  5. M.... B....

    I don't know why this is making me think of the Star Wars Bounty Hunters

  6. M.... C....

    December 2019

  7. T.... G....

    Oh yeah, this is going on my Florida to Montana playlist

  8. C.... S....

    Who was hear from the ford commercial

  9. g.... m....

    i got a florida Georgia line ad before this.

  10. f.... g....

    this song is for real truckers

  11. L.... B....

    It’s sad they used this song in a Ford commercial because Ford had nothing to do with the movie

  12. B.... J....

    Now I want to bootleg Coors to Atlanta.

    B.... J....

    Fun Fact:Coors was never illegal East of the Mississippi River.
    They don't use preservatives in their beer & didn't have any breweries affiliated with the Coors corporation until the early 80s which is why they didn't sell the beer too far east.
    I was 15 or so when Coors became available in Tennessee so my Dad didn't have to buy it when we visited family in Oklahoma.

  13. j.... ....

    if Jerry Reed isn't the most under rated guitar player EVER then tell me who is?

    j.... ....

    Doc Watson admired Jerry and his capabilities

  14. D.... A....

    To me the thing that has spoiled country is the drums. I feel and see no difference between the beat in today's country to the beat in heavy metal or hard rock if you can call those music.

  15. B.... ....

    i Love the Song!

  16. J.... ....

    Death stranding brought me here

  17. C.... N....

  29. A.... F....

    Smokey and the Bandit is a brilliant movie. The whole thing seems so spontaneous and add libbed but it's not. "Oh I love your suits. It must be a bitch to get a 68 extra fat and a 12 dwarf"

  30. V.... ....

    Herry Reed crossed the color line whether he knew it or not. As a kid I remember running with my toy trans am all over the house whenever this song came on.

    V.... ....

    ViennaDisco Herry you mean Jerry?

    If that song doesn’t make you want to go out and buy a Trans Am, I’m guessing you weren’t born yet in the early 80s.

    b.... ....

    The old one with flipflop lights

    b.... ....

    I love Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams

    This song is like fine wine and cheese, it just gets better with age

    J.... B....

    Joel Brunswick very true but ironically, it’s best enjoyed with a black Trans Am, a Dr Pepper and a Diablo sandwich from a choke and puke.

    Nashville doesn't know what they're doing

    S.... M....

    @Dom the Bomb and 90's country is about alcohol and girls xD

    S.... M....

    To me the thing that has spoiled country is the drums. I feel and see no difference between the beat in today's country to the beat in heavy metal or hard rock if you can call those music.

    S.... M....

    @Sirens And Railroads of Oklahoma Music was better back when John Lennon was beating his wife.

    S.... M....

    @DAVID ALAN JONES RIDGE I love metal new metal too, I love old country and hate New country, i love anything that isnt rap pop New country or new rock
