Lyrics

Chorus

Rollin' down that Georgia line again

Fast as freedom on these legend's wheels

Got Carrie ridin' shotgun, wild wind for a friend

Love hits harder than a hundred on the fields

Post-Chorus

Roll, Bandit, roll

Oh-oh, Bandit, roll

Verse 2

White lace waitin' at a crossroads church

Sonny's out huntin', runs like a lost pup

Buford's swearin' (I swear on my badge!) at the pile of his luck

"I can't believe you came from these loins," he blows up

Pre-Chorus

Never planned to steal a bride but here we go

Laughin' at the thunder, with Texas in the rearview

Chorus

Rollin' down that Georgia line again

Fast as freedom on these legend's wheels

Got Carrie ridin' shotgun, wild wind for a friend

Love hits harder than a hundred on the fields

Post-Chorus

Roll, Bandit, roll

Oh-oh, Bandit, roll

Bridge

Moonshine laughter on a dashboard glow

Carrie in my leather jacket, love on the run

Blue lights fading in the back window

Buford cussin’ Sonny, says, “Boy, you ain’t my son”

Verse 3

Smoky trails vanish on the red clay dust

Carrie’s hair flyin’ free, veil on the seat

Sonny trippin’ over boots, lost in the fuss

“I can’t believe you came from these loins”—that old repeat

Pre-Chorus

Steel nerves and a rebel’s heart, pushin’ through the line

We’re just legends lookin’ for a sign

Chorus

Rollin’ down that Georgia line again

Fast as freedom on these legend's wheels

Got Carrie ridin' shotgun, wild wind for a friend

Love hits harder than a hundred on the fields

Post-Chorus

Roll, Bandit, roll

Oh-oh, Bandit, roll
