G Em
Well if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
A D G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
G Em
I've got my ten in the wind, let it all hang out again
A D G
'Cause how you gonna win if you ain't tryin'
[Verse 1]
Em D
Now we're all back together and we're burning up the road
C
And that ol' sheriff's out there dogging us again
A
He thinks he's really got cookin', plans to do a lot of bookin',
D
The only trouble he keeps lookin' where we've already been
[Chorus]
G Em
So if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
A D G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
[Instrumental]
G Em A D G x2
[Chorus]
G Em
Well if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
A D G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
G Em
I've got my ten in the wind, let it all hang out again
A D G
'Cause how you gonna win if you ain't tryin'
[Verse 2]
Em D
Now Smokey and the Bandit is a tale you don't forget
C
'Cause every time you hear an engine scream and whine
A
Well you'll have to think about ol' Bandit
Ol' Buford, Frog and Fred and Snowman
D
Their story is a legend that will live on in time
[Chorus]
G Em
So if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
A D G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
