G A
West bound and down, eighteen wheels are rollin'
C D
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, never mind them brakes
A B Em
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make
Em C
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarkana
A D
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes

Solo
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
Chorus
