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 揌ey 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 sheepherder's 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 |
