About This Song
About "East Bound And Down (from the Motion Picture "Smokey and the Bandit")" by Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed’s gear-jamming anthem is pure asphalt adrenaline—a CB-radio chase with a semi full of contraband. The chicken-pickin’ guitar snaps like a downshift, and the chorus barrels forward with outlaw glee. Beneath the bravado, a homesick ache for the open road’s freedom.
