You heard about the legend of Jesse James John Henry just to mention some names But there's a truck driving legend in the south today A man called Bandit from Atlanta G.A. Every gear jammer knows his name They swear he got icewater runnin in his veins Foot like lead, and nerves like steel He's gonna go to glory ridin 18 wheels He left Atlanta back in '63 Callin him the loner from Tennessee He hit Mont Eagle in the driving rain So hard he couldn't even see the passing lane Well he started down the grade when he lost the gear He hit them brakes found he had no air The Mont Eagle grade is steep and long And everbody that seen it thought the Bandit was gone Well his truck jack-knifed turned completely 'round He was coming down backwards 'bout the speed of sound Alot of folks seen him and they all say He had his head out the windae Yelling clear the way Well he got to the bottom safe and sound Everybody asked Bandit how he made it down He said folks when the truck picked up too much speed I just run along beside it and drug my feet You heard about the legend of Jesse James John Henry just to mention some names But there's a truck driving legend in the south today A man called Bandit from Atlanta G.A. Every gear jammer knows his name They swear he got icewater runnin in his veins Foot like lead, and nerves like steel He's goin up to glory ridin 18 wheels
