At seven this morning I got on the And said to hold my Bronc as as you can My car broke down in Billings and they just got it together I'll be photo in to old Cheyenne We'll here I am in Sheridan and its 9 In the morning and times a-going I just pulled her over, had some and a donut And I the car a brand new tank of gas
Well, I know if I'm gonna make it It's nine-fifteen, I'll be 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 turned on those flashing 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 car and was a-walkin' real slow So I out and met him half way He out his gun and said, "Mister are you crazy I ain't never seen nobody drive way" I him, "Take it easy" and he could put up that cannon The way he shakin', it might go off He put up the gun as I explained my He listened to my story then he
He wrote me out a ticket, that seemed to take I it and as I headed for my car That cop he hollered me and said, "Hey, cowboy You better slow down 'cause you outrun this radar" As I rolled on the road, I was a-cursin' and a-swearin' About the ticket that I had just I wondered if I to pay it or throw it out the window But I might just set the damn afire
So I gunned it once again and was a traveling the road the gas pedal a mashed to the floor When I came around a curve and right in the highway more damn sheep than I ever seen before I'm going too fast to ever stop, so I just close my As the car on through the herd When I up my eyes again, there's a sheep on the fender And that herd's some mighty awful words
The sweats off my hands as I barrel through old Wheatland I'm a wreck and I must be a sight The flies this old car are buzzin' all around me my 24-hour deodorant quit last night 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 miles more the rodeo starts in another 18 I pull in through the main gate and I hear the playing I can't believe it, thank God, I made it
only one more obstacle that's standin' in my way It's a with a weekend badge He standin' by the gate and as I her to a halt He says, "Where in the hell you goin' so dog fast" I tell him I'm entered and I ain't got time to My horse is in the and I'm late He I need to get a pass 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 again So I whacked him in the mouth and then I left him there On his back a-kickin' in the I got there in time to see my Bronc come runnin' out His head and tail was way up high I swear he looked right straight at me and grinned and gave horse And me I just stood there and cried
I turned around feelin' helpless and fairly I and what did I see 3 patrolmen and a gateman with a fat lip And they were all right at me Sittin' in the cell now I've a lot of thinkin' About that run I made a month 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 i wouldn't have drove so slow
