You heard about the legend of Jesse James

And John Henry just to mention some names

Well there's a truck drivin' legend in the south today

A man called Bandit from Atlanta GA

Every gear jammer knows his name

They swear he's got ice water runnin' in his veins

A foot like lead and nerves like steel

He's gonna go to glory ridin' 18 wheels

Ah honey hush

Well he left Atlanta back in '63

Haulin' him a load up to Tennessee

He hit Monteagle and it started to rain

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

Well he started down the grade when he lost a gear

He reached for the brakes found he had no air

The Monteagle grade is steep and long

And everybody that seen it thought the Bandit was gone

Listen now

Well his truck jack-knifed turned completely round

He was comin' down backwards bout the speed of sound

A lot of folks seen him and they all say

He had his head out the window yellin' 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 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 GA

Every gear jammer knows his name

They swear he got icewater runnin in his veins

A foot like lead and nerves like steel

He's goin up to glory ridin 18 wheels
