At seven this morning I got on the phone and said to hold my Bronc as long as
you can
My car broke down in Billings and they just got it back together
I`ll be photo finishing in to old Cheyenne
We`ll here I am in Sheridan and its 9 o`clock in the morning and times a going
fast
I just pulled her over had some coffee and a donut and i bought the car a brand
new tank of gas
Well I don`t know if I`m gonna make it, its nine-fifteen
I`ll be lucky if i ever get there
By god what it that I hear, is it a siren, sure enough he got me on his radar
He pulled up behind me and turned on those flashing lights a sign that i knew
meant pull it over
So i stomped on my brakes and as i skidded to a halt, I wiped out three
reflector posts along the shoulder
He got outta his car and was a walkin real slow so I jumped out and met him
half-way
He jerked out his gun and said mister are you crazy, I ain`t never seen nobody
drive that way
I told him take it easy and he could put up that cannon the way he was shakin
it just might go off
He put up the gun as I explained my situation he listened to my story then he
coughed
He wrote me out a ticket, that seemed to take forever. I took it and as I
headed for my car
That cop he hollered after me and said жЏЊey cowboy you better slow down cause
you can`t outrun this radar!As I rolled on down the road i was a cursin and a
swearing about the ticket that I had just acquired
I wondered if i ought to pay it our just throw it out the window, but i might
just set the damn thing afire
So I gunned it once again and was a traveling down the highway with the gas
pedal a mashed to the floor
When I came around a curve and right there in the highway there was more damn
sheep than I ever seen before
I`m going to fast to ever stop, so I just close my eyes as the car rolls on
through the herd
When I opened up my eyes again there`s a sheep on the fender and that and that
herds saying some mighty awful words
The sweats a drippin off my hands as I barrel through old Wheatland I`m a
nervous wreck and i must be a sight
The flies inside this old car are buzzin all around me.
Guess my 24-hour deoderant quit last night
60 50 40 30 20 miles more the rodeo starts in another 18 minutes
I pull in through the main gate and I hear the anthem playing,
I can`t believe it thank God I finally made it
There`s only one more obstacle a standing in my way.
Its a nitwit with a weekend badge
He standing by the gate and as I slide her to a halt,
He yells where in the hell you goin so dog gone fast
I tell him that I`m entered and i ain`t got time to talk
My horse is in the chute and i`m late
He says i need to get a pass from the secretary my eyes get red my heart fills
up with hate.
I yell you dirty so and so you better let me through he asked if I`d repeat
that once again
So I whacked him in the mouth and a left him lyin there on his back a kicking
in the sand
I got there just in time to see my Bronc come runnin out his head and tail was
a held way up high
I swear he looked right straight at me and grinned and gave horse laugh and me
I just stood there and cried I turned around feelin helpless and fairly
dumbfounded
I looked and what did I see 3 highway patrolmen and a gateman with a fat lip
and
They were all a lookin right at me
Sittin in the cell now I`ve done a lot of thinkin about that wild run I made a
month ago
I`m sorry that I`m in this rotten situation
If I could do it again I wouldn`t have drove so slow
If I could do it again i wouldn`t have drove so slow
