Westbound and Down lyrics

West bound and down, eighteen wheels are rollin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm west bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes West bound and down, eighteen wheels are rollin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm west bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run West bound and down, eighteen wheels are rollin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm west bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run
