The songs he has written: West Bound And Down Variant of the song "East Bound And Down". This song was written for the movie "Smokey And The Bandit" (1977), starring Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jackie Gleason and Jerry Reed. The movie was a huge success, and the movie theme song became a huge hit. There are two versions of this song, meaning that the two first lines in the chorus are different. In the beginning of the movie, when the truck was driving against Texarcana to fetch the beer, they were singing: "West Bound And Down. Eighteen Wheels Are Rollin’". In the last part of the movie, while on the way back Eastwards, the song goes: "East Bound And Down. Loaded Up And Truckin’".
Words and music: Dick Feller &
Jerry Reed Hubbard
