At seven morning I got on the phone And to hold my Bronc as long as you can My car broke down in Billings and they got it back together be photo finishing in to old Cheyenne We'll here I am in Sheridan and its 9 In the and times a-going fast I just pulled her over, had 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 if I ever get there By god, now that I hear, is it a siren Sure he got me on his radar He pulled up me and turned on those flashing lights A sign that I knew meant Over' So I on my brakes and as I skidded to a halt I wiped out three reflector along the shoulder
He got outta car and was a-walkin' real slow So I jumped out and met him way He out his gun and said, "Mister are you crazy I ain't never nobody 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 explained my He listened to my then he coughed
He wrote me out a ticket, seemed to take forever I took it and as I for my car cop he hollered after me and said, "Hey, cowboy You better slow down 'cause you can't outrun radar" As I rolled on the road, I was a-cursin' and a-swearin' About the ticket I had just acquired I wondered if I ought to pay it or throw it out the But I might just set the damn thing
So I it once again and was a traveling down the road With the gas a mashed to the floor When I came around a curve and right in the highway There's more damn sheep than I seen before I'm going too fast to ever stop, so I just close my As the car rolls on the herd When I opened up my eyes again, a sheep on the fender And that herd's some mighty awful words
The a-drippin' off my hands as I barrel through old Wheatland I'm a nervous wreck and I be a sight The flies inside this old car are all around me Guess my 24-hour deodorant quit night 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 miles the rodeo starts in another 18 minutes I pull in through the main 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 a weekend badge He by the gate and as I slide her to a halt 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 horse is in the chute and I'm He says I to get a pass from the secretary My eyes get red, my fills up with hate
I yell, "You dirty so and so, you let me through" he if I'd repeat that once again So I whacked him in the mouth and I left him lyin' there On his a-kickin' in the sand I got just in time to see my Bronc come runnin' out His head and was held way up high I swear he looked right straight at me and grinned and horse laugh And me I just stood there and cried
I turned around helpless and fairly dumbfounded I looked and did I see 3 highway patrolmen and a gateman a fat lip And they all a-lookin' right at me in the cell now I've done a lot of thinkin' About that wild run I made a ago I'm that I'm in this rotten situation If I could do it again I wouldn't have so slow If I could do it again i wouldn't have drove so
