Name of the opening song?


Does anyone know the name of the song sung by Jerry Reed at the beginning of the film, just as Justice's car crashe through the stars and stripes?

Its called Buford. T Justice, by Jerry Reed. :)
Its on the soundtrack, which is very difficult to track down.

The track is called 'Buford T Justice'. I don't have the cassette in front of me for the artist, but rest assured it is not Jerry Reed. I picked up the soundtrack back in the late eighties in a cutout bin at a Camelot music store. I have all three soundtracks on cassette tape. S&TB 3 is actually an 'EP' versus an 'LP'.

It's sung by Lee Greenwood. Instead of you going to the tank, just look at the songs and artists who sang them at the end of the credits to this movie. Bufort T Justice was sung by Lee Greenwood.

It goes like this:

-Buford T. Justice, the rutheless man of Texas.
-The man that chased the Bandit coast 2 coast.

and it goes on from there.

I knew that wasn't Lee Greenwood singing, so I checked, and I was right. Lee Greenwood sings a couple of songs on the soundtrack, but it's Ed Bruce singing the titles theme. Greenwood's voice is much more scratchy than that.
