Texas Bound and Flyin’ (from the motion picture “Smokey and the Bandit II”) Songtext
von Jerry Reed

Well, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I′ll be Texas bound and flyin'
I′ve got my ten in the wind
Let it all hang out again
'Cause how're you gonna win if you ain′t trying

Well, now we′re all back together
And we're burnin′ up the road
And that old Sheriff started doggin' us again
He thinks he′s really got it cookin'
Plans to do a lot of bookin′
Only trouble he keeps lookin'
Where we've already been


So, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I′ll be Texas bound and flyin′

Well, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I'll be Texas bound and flyin′
I've got my ten in the wind
Let it all hang out again
′Cause how're you gonna win if you ain′t trying

Now 'Smokey and the Bandit'
Is a tale you don′t forget
′Cause every time you hear an engine scream and whine
Well, you have to think about Ol' Bandit
Ol′ Buford, Frog, and Fred and Snowman
Their story is a legend that will live on in time

So, if I can keep it on the ground
When I put that hammer down
Then I'll be Texas bound and flyin′
