# Everybody asked Bandit
how he made it down

:02:04
# He said, ''Folks, when the truck
picked up too much speed

:02:07
# ''I just run along beside it
and drug my feet''

:02:11
# Ya heard the legend
of Jesse James

:02:14
# And John Henry
just to mention some names

:02:16
# Well, there's a truck-drivin' legend
in the South today

:02:19
# A man called Bandit
from Atlanta, Ga.

:02:23
# Every gearjammer
knows his name

:02:25
# They swear he's got asphalt
a-runnin' in his veins

:02:28
# A foot like lead
and nerves like steel

:02:32
# He's goin' up to glory
ridin' 18 wheels

:02:35
# Ah, tell me, boy
:02:41
# Talk to me, guitar #
:02:55
Hey, Kirk. How ya doin'?
:02:57
Tod Engels. How are ya?
:03:02
- This your rig, son?
- Yeah.

:03:06
Open it up. Let's see the manifest.
:03:16
Well, placin' you under arrest
for transportin' alcoholic beverages

:03:21
across state lines
without the proper permits.

:03:23
And that means you,
you dumb cowboy.

:03:26
You know truckin' Coors beer
east of Texas is bootleggin'.

:03:29
- This here's Georgia, son.
- Just a friendly bet.

:03:33
These two old boys put me up to it.
:03:36
Now, when ya gonna learn?
:03:38
Big and Little Enos Burdette make that
same bet with every gearjammer they can.

:03:42
I say he ain't gonna go
for your game.

:03:44
Son, from what I've heard, the biggest
thing about the Bandit is his ego,

:03:49
and I figure that, plus a lot of my dollars,
and he'll try anything, legal or not.

:03:54
(ANNOUNCER) They've put on quite a show
for us today, haven't they, friends?

:03:59
Yes, sir, you have seen some of
the finest gearjammin' in all of this country.
