At seven this I got on the phone And said to hold my Bronc as as you can My car broke in Billings and they just got it back together I'll be finishing in to old Cheyenne We'll here I am in Sheridan and its 9 In the and times a-going fast I pulled her over, had some coffee and a donut And I bought the car a brand new of gas
Well, I don't know if I'm gonna it It's nine-fifteen, I'll be lucky if I ever get By god, now that I hear, is it a siren enough he got me on his radar He up behind me and turned on those flashing lights A sign that I knew 'Pull Over' So I stomped on my brakes and as I skidded to a I wiped out three posts along the shoulder
He got outta this car and was a-walkin' real So I jumped out and met him way He jerked out his gun and said, "Mister are you I ain't never seen drive that way" I told him, "Take it easy" and he could put up that The way he shakin', it might go off He put up the gun as I my situation He listened to my then he coughed
He wrote me out a ticket, that seemed to take I took it and as I for my car That cop he after me and said, "Hey, cowboy You better slow 'cause you can't outrun this radar" As I on down the road, I was a-cursin' and a-swearin' About the ticket that I had acquired I wondered if I ought to pay it or it out the window But I might just set the damn thing
So I gunned it again and was a traveling down the road With the gas pedal a mashed to the I came around a curve and right there in the highway There's more damn than I ever seen before I'm going too to ever stop, so I just close my eyes As the car on through the herd I opened up my eyes again, there's a sheep on the fender And that sayin' some mighty awful words
The sweats a-drippin' off my hands as I barrel through old I'm a nervous wreck and I must be a The flies inside old car are buzzin' all around me Guess my 24-hour quit last night 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 miles more the rodeo in another 18 minutes I in through the main gate and I hear the anthem playing I can't believe it, thank God, I made it
only one more obstacle that's standin' in my way It's a nitwit with a weekend He standin' by the gate and as I slide her to a He says, "Where in the hell you so dog gone fast" I him I'm entered and I ain't got time to talk My is in the chute and I'm late He says I need to get a from the secretary My eyes get red, my heart fills up hate
I yell, "You so and so, you better let me through" he asked if I'd repeat that once So I whacked him in the mouth and then I left him lyin' On his back in the sand I got there in time to see my Bronc come runnin' out His head and tail was held way up I he looked right straight at me and grinned and gave horse laugh And me I just stood there and cried
I turned around feelin' helpless and dumbfounded I looked and did I see 3 highway and a gateman with a fat lip And they all a-lookin' right at me in the cell now I've done a lot of thinkin' About that run I made a month ago I'm sorry that I'm in this rotten If I do it again I wouldn't have drove so slow If I could do it again i wouldn't have drove so
