# You heard 'bout the legend
of Jesse James

:00:55

# And John Henry
just to mention some names

:00:58

# Well, there's a truck-drivin' legend
in the South today

:01:01

# A man called Bandit
from Atlanta, Ga.

:01:05

# Every gearjammer
knows his name

:01:08

# They swear he got asphalt
a-runnin' in his veins

:01:11

# A foot like lead
and nerves like steel

:01:14

# He's gonna go to glory
ridin' 18 wheels

:01:17

# Oh, boy

:01:19

# He left Atlanta back in '63

:01:22

# Haulin' him a load
up to Tennessee

:01:25

# He hit Mount Eagle
in a drivin' rain

:01:28

# So hard he couldn't even see
the passin' lane

:01:31

# Well, he started down the grade
when he lost a gear

:01:34

# He hit them brakes,
found he had no air

:01:38

# The Mount Eagle grade
is steep and long

:01:40

# And everybody that seen it
thought the Bandit was gone

:01:44

# All gone

:01:46

# Well, his truck jack-knifed
turned completely around

:01:49

# He was comin' down backwards
'bout the speed of sound

:01:52

# A lot of folks seen him
and they all say

:01:55

# He had his head out the window
yellin', ''Clear the way!''

:01:58

# Well, he got to the bottom
safe and sound
