[Chorus]
G A
West bound and down, eighteen wheels arollin',
C D G
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
G A
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
C D G
I'm west bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Em C
Keep your foot hard on the pedal, Son nevermind them brakes
A B Em
Let it all hang out cause we got a run to make
C
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarcana
A B
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes
[Chorus]

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
