Flatt And Scruggs - East Bound Train Lyrics

It's east bound and down, loaded up and truckin
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We got a long way to go, and it's short time to get there
I am east bound, just watch old bandit run

Keep your foot upon 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 Texarkana
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes

It's east bound and down, loaded up and truckin
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We got a long way to go, and it's short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch old bandit run

It's east bound and down, loaded up and truckin
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We got a long way to go, and it's short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch old bandit run

Old Smokey's got them ears on, he's hot up on your trail
He ain't gonna rest till you're in jail
So you gotta dodge him, you gotta duck him
You gotta keep that diesel truckin
Just put that hammer down and give it hell

It's east bound and down, loaded up and truckin
We're gonna do what they say can't be done
We got a long way to go, and it's short time to get there
I'm east bound, just watch old bandit run
