At this morning I got on the phone And said to hold my as long as you can My car broke in Billings and they just got it back together I'll be photo finishing in to old We'll I am in Sheridan and its 9 o'clock In the morning and a-going fast I just pulled her over, had some coffee and a And I bought the car a brand new of gas
Well, I don't know if I'm make it nine-fifteen, I'll be lucky if I ever get there By god, now what's I hear, is it a siren enough he got me on his radar He pulled up behind me and on those flashing lights A sign that I meant 'Pull Over' So I stomped on my brakes and as I to a halt I wiped out three posts along the shoulder
He got outta this car and was real slow So I jumped out and met him way He out his gun and said, "Mister are you crazy I ain't never seen nobody drive way" I told him, "Take it easy" and he could put up cannon The way he shakin', it just go off He put up the gun as I explained my 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 after 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 that I had just acquired I wondered if I to pay it or throw 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 a mashed to the floor When I came a curve and right there in the highway There's more damn sheep than I ever seen I'm going too fast to ever stop, so I just close my As the car on through the herd When I opened up my eyes again, there's a on the fender And that herd's sayin' some awful words
The sweats a-drippin' off my hands as I barrel old Wheatland I'm a nervous wreck and I must be a The inside this old car are buzzin' all around me Guess my 24-hour deodorant quit last 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 miles more the starts in another 18 minutes I pull in through the main gate and I hear the anthem I can't believe it, God, I finally made it
There's 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 and I ain't got time to talk My is in the chute and I'm late He I need 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 asked if I'd repeat that once So I whacked him in the mouth and then I left him there On his back a-kickin' in the I got there just in time to see my come runnin' out His head and 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 looked and did I see 3 highway patrolmen and a gateman a fat lip And were all a-lookin' right at me Sittin' in the cell now I've done a lot of About that run I made a month ago I'm sorry that I'm in rotten situation If I could do it again I wouldn't drove so slow If I could do it again i wouldn't have so slow
