East Bound And Down/Folsom Prison Blues/On the Road Again
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' a'we gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long why to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound just watch ol'Bandit run
Keep your foot hard on the peddle...son, never mind them brakes let it all hang out cause we've 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
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' a'we 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 east bound just watch ol'Bandit run ......
( banjo & guitar solo )
Old Smokey's got them ears on, he's hot on your trail and he ain't gonna rest 'till you're in jail So you gotta dodge him.... you gotta duck him You've gotta keep that diesel truckin.... just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' a'we 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 east bound just watch ol'Bandit run
Well, I hear the train a comin´ It´s a rolling round the bend Well, I ain´t seen the sunshine Since I don´t know when,
And I´m stuck in Folsom prison, Time keeps draggin´ on But that train keeps a rollin´ On down to San Antone.
I was just a baby My mama told me, son, Said, always be a good boy, Don´t ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, I bet there´s rich folks eating In a fancy dining car They´re probably drinkin´ coffee And smoking big cigars.
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I cant be free Now, those people keep a-movin´ That´s what tortures me.
If they´d free me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I´d move just a little Further down the line
Yeah, Far from Folsom prison, That's where I want to stay Lord I here that whistle blowing Blow my blues away.
(Spoken) It's been thirty years now And I know I'll never leave This God forsaken place alive Honest to God, When I hear those words Ringin' through my head As loud as that old train whistle Crying out to me night after continuous night Sending a cold steal quiver through my voice I close my eyes and pray That that iron horse is bound for the promise land And I'll get to ride it home to glory...
On the road again - Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again - Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends. Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is on the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way is on the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again. And I can't wait to get on the road again.
