Soundtrack
The soundtrack has many popular country music hits, including the title track by Eddie Rabbitt and several numbers by Charlie Rich. Songwriter Snuff Garrett was hired to write songs for the film, including three for Locke's character, something which proved problematic as Locke was not a professional singer. One song Charlie Rich performed in the film, "I'll Wake You Up When I Get Home", hit number three on the charts in 1979 and was Rich's last Top Ten single. Sondra Locke, who appears as Eastwood's love interest, performs several musical numbers in the film as well. Mel Tillis sings his own song "Send me down to Tucson" in full.
