Eastbound and Down - Smokey and the Bandit - Jerry Reed - 1977
"East Bound and Down" is a song written by Jerry Reed and Dick Feller, and recorded by Reed for the soundtrack for the film Smokey and the Bandit. The song features Reed on the lead vocal, and vocalist Gordon Stoker of the Jordanaires on the harmony vocal. It was released in August 1977 as a single on RCA Records.
The song spent 16 weeks on the U.S. country music charts, reaching a peak of No. 2. It also reached No. 3 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.
The "...and Down" in the title and lyric is CB radio jargon for "I‘m finished transmitting, but still listening to the channel." "bound and down" remains a common sign-off for truckers on CB radio. #billyjones #resist #timetoresist
Fair use act of 1976. Educational purposes.
