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 just got it back be photo finishing in to old Cheyenne We'll here I am in and its 9 o'clock In the morning and times a-going I just pulled her over, had some and a donut And I bought the car a brand new of gas
Well, I don't know if I'm make it It's nine-fifteen, be lucky if I ever get there By god, now what's I hear, is it a siren Sure enough he got me on his He pulled up behind me and on those flashing lights A sign I knew meant 'Pull Over' So I stomped on my and as I skidded to a halt I wiped out three reflector along the shoulder
He got outta this car and was a-walkin' slow So I jumped out and met him way He jerked out his gun and said, "Mister are you I never seen nobody drive that way" I told him, "Take it easy" and he put up that cannon The way he shakin', it might go off He put up the gun as I my situation He to my story 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 hollered after me and said, "Hey, You better slow down 'cause you can't outrun radar" As I rolled on the road, I was a-cursin' and a-swearin' the ticket that I had just acquired I if I ought to pay it or throw it out the window But I might just set the damn afire
So I it once again and was a traveling down the road With the gas pedal a mashed to the When I came around a curve and right there in the There's more damn sheep than I ever seen I'm going too fast to ever stop, so I just my eyes As the car rolls on through the When I up my eyes again, there's a sheep on the fender And herd's sayin' some mighty awful words
The sweats a-drippin' off my hands as I through old Wheatland I'm a wreck and I must be a sight The flies inside old car are buzzin' all around me Guess my 24-hour deodorant quit last 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 more the rodeo starts in another 18 minutes I in through the main gate and I hear the anthem playing I can't believe it, thank God, I finally it
There's only one obstacle that's standin' in my way It's a nitwit a weekend badge He standin' by the gate and as I slide her to a He says, "Where in the you goin' so dog gone fast" I tell him I'm entered and I ain't got time to My horse is in the and I'm late He says I need to get a from the secretary My get red, my heart fills up with hate
I yell, "You dirty so and so, you let me through" he asked if I'd repeat that 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 and tail was held way up high I swear he looked right straight at me and grinned and gave horse laugh And me I stood there and cried
I turned around feelin' helpless and dumbfounded I and what did I see 3 highway patrolmen and a with a fat lip And were all a-lookin' right at me Sittin' in the cell now I've done a lot of About that wild run I made a ago I'm sorry that I'm in this situation If I could do it again I have drove so slow If I could do it again i wouldn't have drove so
