The Legend

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... Every gear jammer knows his name...
