Bandit's Highway Hearts (Smokey And the Bandit 50th Anniversary)

Chorus

Bandit's on the run with Carrie by his side

Love got away just before the wedding time

Cut across the county line, burning moonlight

Bandit and Carrie, spinning fast through the pines

Post-Chorus

Rollin' wheels, rollin' free

Hearts in flight, won't be caught tonight

Verse 2

Her dress on the floorboard, giggles in her voice

Sonny left behind, never really had a choice

Sheriff swearing vengeance, hitting every sign

"I can't believe you came from these loins"—how'd that fool get left behind

Pre-Chorus

Thunder on the highway, paint on that Pontiac

Carrie's arm around me, never looking back

Chorus

Bandit's on the run with Carrie by his side

Love got away just before the wedding time

Cut across the county line, burning moonlight

Bandit and Carrie, spinning fast through the pines

Post-Chorus

Rollin' wheels, rollin' free

Hearts in flight, won't be caught tonight

Bridge

Flashing lights fading, sheriff's voice in the wind

Carrie's laughter echoing, hair blowing thin

Sonny at the altar, standing lost and alone

Buford shaking his head, mad right down to the bone

Verse 3

Tires throw gravel, wide open on the stretch

Carrie and I trading glances, hearts playing fetch

Fresh painted numbers, highway counting down miles

Buford grumbling loud, "I can't believe you came from these loins" with no style

Chorus

Bandit's on the run with Carrie by his side

Love got away just before the wedding time

Cut across the county line, burning moonlight

Bandit and Carrie, spinning fast through the pines

Post-Chorus

Rollin' wheels, rollin' free

Hearts in flight, won't be caught tonight
