It's from Smokey And The Bandit and it's sung by the actor Jerry Reed, who played The Snowman. In fact, there's two songs used - East Bound and Down and Westbound and Down.

It's West Bound and Down that has the line you quoted. My bad.

I think it more accurate to describe Jerry Reed as a Singer/Guitarist/Musician who occasionally acted rather than as an Actor.
