Lyrics

Verse 1

Long stretch of blacktop, radio playing low

Boots on the pedals, ready, set, go

Plans cooked up in Texas, a bet we just might win

Smokey’s in the rearview, but we’re rolling again

Pre-Chorus

CB’s crackling, stories on the wire

Snowman grins, adventures never tire

Chorus

Eastbound and down, that highway calls my name

Running hard and wild for that Georgia state line again

With a smile and a six-pack, tearing up the map

Burt and Sally laughing, with old Snowman at my back

Post-Chorus

Pedal down, don't slow me

Let's go, Bandit, let's go

Verse 2

Sheriff's close behind, he's breathing my dust

Diablo in that engine, got to get there by sun-up

Trans Am rolling thunder, chasing midnight gold

If I make it to Atlanta, I'll never grow old

Pre-Chorus

Black hat, fast hands, a laugh in the wind

Me and my best friend, gone again

Chorus

Eastbound and down, that highway calls my name

Running hard and wild for that Georgia state line again

With a smile and a six-pack, tearing up the map

Burt and Sally laughing, with old Snowman at my back

Post-Chorus

Pedal down, don't slow me

Let's go, Bandit, let's go

Bridge

Sun rising behind us, rubber on the road

Gravel flying easy, letting laughter unload

High stakes with a pinch of luck, Sally holding tight

Freedom on my shoulder, got the law far out of sight

Verse 3

Horns on the grill and a grin on my face

Snowman on the CB, setting the pace

Barrels in the backseat, ticking clock in my mind

Crossing that last county line

Pre-Chorus

Loaded up with daring, wild as the breeze

Friends riding shotgun, feeling that release

Chorus

Eastbound and down, that highway calls my name

Running hard and wild for that Georgia state line again

With a smile and a six-pack, tearing up the map

Burt and Sally laughing, with old Snowman at my back

Post-Chorus

Pedal down, don't slow me

Let's go, Bandit, let's go

Outro

Tail lights fading, stories etched in dust and chrome

Lessons in laughter, made every mile feel like home

Tank running empty, but hearts still running high

Bandit and the Snowman underneath that southern sky

Duet Harmony

One last ride, we made history tonight

Smiles traded kindly in the red-yellow light

Sweet Sally waving, Georgia waits just ahead

Friends made forever by the wild roads we led
