He been gnawing everything in the cab of this truck barking and screaming
                            G                         
I think he's turning into a stalk of bananas come back

      A7                                    
About sixteen miles this side of Mississippi

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
    F                                   
I'm east bound just watch ol' Bandit run

He's hot on your trail
Em                                         
And he ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail
