Go straight to the source :wink:
Jerry Reeds (http://alabamawildman.com/)site

Go to 'The Tunes', & it's; 'East Bound & Down'

Reed also wrote
'Guitar Man' as covered by a certain EA Presley
'A Thing Called Love' covered by Johnny Cash (who recorded at Sam Philips 'Sun Records' at the same time as Presley)

Did anyone notice Ben Jones at the begining??
He played Cooter in the (TV series) 'The Dukes Of Hazzard'
He's stood in front of a Freightliner(?) in a light coloured shirt & th Burdettes ask him where they can find Bandit

And here he is, complete with 70's moustache :lol: :lol:
