GTs 2005 Bowl Theme Song

Georgia Tech's Dave Braine worked with Nashville legend Jerry Reed on writing a song for the Jacket's bowl season. Since GT isn't allowed back inside the Nashville City Limits after its abysmal fan showing at the NCAA Tourney last year, Reed said, "Writing a song for you fellas is the least I can do."

The Georgia Sports Blog has gotten an early copy of the tune, which is sung to the tune of the Smokey and the Bandit Theme Song.



"West Bound and Down"
West bound and down, timbucktoo and bowlin',
We're gonna go where they say can't be gone.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Tech's west bound and down, just watch ol' Jackets run.

Keep your football and your helmets. Son, never mind them grades.
Let it 'em all pass now 'cause we got a game to make.
The "boys" are lonely in San Fran and there's love in Eureka Valley.
And we'll bring "The Johnson" no matter what it takes.

West bound and down, Utah's waiting for us,
They've got a can of whoop ass that can't wait.
It's gonna be Fresno State Part Two and our QB is you know who.
Tech's west bound and down, just watch ol' Jackets run.

Ol' NCAA got them ears on and they're hot on your trail.
They aint gonna rest 'til you're in jail.
So you got to forge 'em and you got to fake 'em,
You got to keep the players eligible.
Just put that "A" down and give 'em hell.

West bound and down, timbucktoo and bowlin',
We're gonna go where they say can't be gone.
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
Tech's west bound and down, just watch ol' Jackets run.
