Lyrics
I packed my saddle bags and my favorite rope.
She said don't go.
The fear in her voice, and the tears in her eyes.
Wasn't as loud as the cheers in my mind.
8 seconds of hell, moment of glory.
Written in blood and dust my lifetime story.
Shattered bones, and a broken home.
Hell of a price we pay for this cowboy way.
That day in Austin, couldn't wait to make the call,
And tell her that I'd won it all.
I'd be coming home for good this time.
But there was only silence on the other end of the line.
8 seconds of hell, a moment of glory.
Written in blood and dust my lifetime story.
Shattered bones, and a broken home.
Hell of a price we pay, for this cowboy way.
I never thought this buckle, I hold in my hands.
Would be out weighed by this little gold band.
Win, lose or draw ,I lost it all this time ,,,
Hell of a price we pay,,,,
Hell of a price I've paid.. for this cowboy way.
