Jerry Reed's, "The Bandit"
Misheard Lyrics:
Shackled only by peat moss,
Then well they make change.
Then well they make change.
Original Lyrics:
Stacked only by freedom,
You wear no man's chain.
You wear no man's chain.
Jerry Reed's, "The Bandit"
Misheard Lyrics:
They call you the Bandit
And I caught one tame
Shackles only by Piedmont
And the weatherman's chains.
And I caught one tame
Shackles only by Piedmont
And the weatherman's chains.
Original Lyrics:
They call you The Bandit
An outlaw untamed
Shackled only by freedom
You wear no man's chain.
An outlaw untamed
Shackled only by freedom
You wear no man's chain.
