The movie's theme song, '' High Rollin' '' was sung by Jerry Reed, who also acted in the film, with the tune co-written by him and Dick Feller. This same combination had been recently used for the movie 'Smokey and the Bandit' (1977).
The film was first released the following 1978 year after the similarly titled Australian road movie 'High Rolling' (1977). The theme song for 'High-Ballin' (1978) is actually called '' High Rollin' ''.
