G                           Em
Well if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
      A              D           G              
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
             G                       Em                
I've got my ten in the wind, let it all hang out again
        A             D                G
'Cause how you gonna win if you ain't tryin'


[Verse 1]
     Em                                 D
Now we're all back together and we're burning up the road
                C                               
And that ol' sheriff's out there dogging us again
                 A
He thinks he's really got cookin', plans to do a lot of bookin',
                                                D
The only trouble he keeps lookin' where we've already been


[Chorus]
             G                            Em
So if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
      A             D            G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'


[Instrumental]
G Em A D G x2


[Chorus]
                G                           Em
Well if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
      A              D           G              
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
             G                       Em                
I've got my ten in the wind, let it all hang out again
        A             D                G
'Cause how you gonna win if you ain't tryin'


[Verse 2]
      Em                        D
Now Smokey and the Bandit is a tale you don't forget
        C    
'Cause every time you hear an engine scream and whine
                     A
Well you'll have to think about ol' Bandit

Ol' Buford, Frog and Fred and Snowman
                                   D
Their story is a legend that will live on in time


[Chorus]
              G                          Em
So if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
      A             D            G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
