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 I am in Sheridan and its 9 o'clock In the and times a-going fast I just her over, had some coffee and a donut And I bought the car a new tank of gas
Well, I don't if I'm gonna make it It's nine-fifteen, I'll be lucky if I get there By god, now that 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 that I knew 'Pull Over' So I on my brakes and as I skidded to a halt I out three reflector posts along the shoulder
He got outta this car and was real slow So I out and met him half way He jerked out his gun and said, "Mister are you I ain't never seen drive that way" I told him, "Take it easy" and he put up that cannon The way he shakin', it just go off He put up the gun as I explained my He listened to my story he coughed
He wrote me out a ticket, that seemed to forever I it and as I headed for my car That cop he hollered me and said, "Hey, cowboy You better 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 damn afire
So I it once again and was a traveling down the road the gas pedal a mashed to the floor When I came around a and right there in the highway There's more damn sheep than I ever seen I'm going too to ever stop, so I just close my eyes As the car rolls on through the When I opened up my eyes again, there's a sheep on the And that sayin' some mighty awful words
The sweats a-drippin' off my hands as I 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 deodorant quit last night 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 miles more the rodeo starts in another 18 I pull in the main gate 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 with a weekend badge He standin' by the and as I slide her to a halt He says, "Where in the hell you so dog gone fast" I tell him I'm entered and I ain't got to talk My horse is in the and I'm late He says I need to get a from the secretary 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 I left him lyin' there On his back a-kickin' in the I got there just in 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 gave horse laugh And me I just there and cried
I turned around feelin' and fairly dumbfounded I and what did I see 3 patrolmen and a gateman with a fat lip And they all a-lookin' right at me Sittin' in the cell now I've a lot of thinkin' that wild run I made a month ago I'm sorry I'm in this rotten situation If I do it again I wouldn't have drove so slow If I could do it again i wouldn't have drove so
