At this morning I got on the phone And said to hold my Bronc as as you can My car broke down in Billings and they got it back together I'll be finishing in to old Cheyenne We'll here I am in and its 9 o'clock In the morning and times fast I pulled her over, had some coffee and a donut And I bought the car a brand new 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 up behind me and turned on those flashing lights A sign that I meant 'Pull Over' So I stomped on my and as I skidded to a halt I wiped out three posts along the shoulder
He got outta this car and was a-walkin' slow So I jumped out and met him way He out his gun and said, "Mister are you crazy 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 just 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 to take forever I it and as I headed for my car That cop he hollered me and said, "Hey, cowboy You slow down 'cause you can't outrun this radar" As I rolled on down the road, I was and a-swearin' About the ticket I had just acquired I if I ought to pay it or throw it out the window But I might just set the thing afire
So I gunned it once and was a traveling down the road With the gas a mashed to the floor When I came around a curve and right there in the There's more damn than I ever seen before I'm too fast to ever stop, so I just close my eyes As the car on through 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 must be a 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 pull in through the main gate and I hear the playing I can't believe it, thank God, I made it
There's only one obstacle that's standin' in my way a nitwit with a weekend badge He standin' by the and as I slide her to a halt He says, "Where in the hell you goin' so dog fast" I tell him I'm and I ain't got time to talk My horse is in the chute and I'm He says I need to get a pass from the My eyes get red, my heart fills up hate
I yell, "You dirty so and so, you let me through" he asked if I'd repeat that once So I whacked him in the mouth and then I him lyin' there On his back in the sand I got there just in time to see my come runnin' out His and tail was held way up high I swear he looked right at me and grinned and gave horse laugh And me I just stood there and cried
I turned around helpless and fairly dumbfounded I and what did I see 3 highway patrolmen and a with a fat lip And they all a-lookin' right at me Sittin' in the now I've done a lot of thinkin' About that wild run I made a ago I'm sorry that I'm in rotten situation If I could do it again I have drove so slow If I could do it again i wouldn't have so slow
