Verse 1
Sun breaks over Dixie, Cledus fires up his rig
A bet from the Enos boys, that trouble’s runnin’ big
Bandit sweeps his hat and grins from ear to ear
Fred’s in the yard, chasin’ rabbits, tail in high gear
Pre-Chorus
Carrie’s up the road, runnin’ from her past
Justice on her bumper, swearin’ he’ll make it fast
Chorus
Rollin' down the highway in a black Trans Am
Got Fred the hound dog snoozin’ in the back of the cab
Sheriff Buford T’s in his Pontiac, spittin’ out his rage
Bandit’s smilin’, Cledus on the wire, outrunnin’ every cage
Post-Chorus
Eastbound, runnin’ free
Eastbound, wild and sweet
Verse 2
Big Enos and Little Enos want that Coors in Tennessee
Got dreams in a trailer, make that run for a shiny big trophy
Carrie’s by my side, in a wedding dress, full of questions and fire
Cledus laughs, lights up a smoke, as miles and schemes conspire
Pre-Chorus
Buford’s on my bumper, never lettin’ go
Fred’s howlin’ at the moon, got that southern glow
Chorus
Rollin' down the highway in a black Trans Am
Got Fred the hound dog snoozin’ in the back of the cab
Sheriff Buford T’s in his Pontiac, spittin’ out his rage
Bandit’s smilin’, Cledus on the wire, outrunnin’ every cage
Post-Chorus
Eastbound, runnin’ free
Eastbound, wild and sweet
Bridge
Carrie grabs my hat, wind tangles her hair
Fred hops up front, leavin’ muddy prints everywhere
Bufford’s cussin’ louder, but he won’t catch up tonight
Big Enos drawin’ wagers, Little Enos laughin’ tight
Verse 3
The sun’s settin’ golden, tires hummin’ like a tune
Cledus on the radio, cracklin’ under June
Carrie leans beside me, her laughter fills the air
Fred drools on the dashboard, without a single care
Pre-Chorus
Counting out the miles, every tick and turn
Buford’s headlights fading, but his wheels still burn
Chorus
Rollin' down the highway in a black Trans Am
Got Fred the hound dog snoozin’ in the back of the cab
Sheriff Buford T’s in his Pontiac, spittin’ out his rage
Bandit’s smilin’, Cledus on the wire, outrunnin’ every cage
Post-Chorus
Eastbound, running free
Eastbound, wild and sweet
Eastbound, you and me
Eastbound, hearts repeat
