Lyrics
Eight seconds out of the shoot.
Eight seconds between win and loose.
Eight seconds to hang on tight
Eight seconds wins the money tonight.
A cowboys's life on the rodeo circuit-
town to town try to get the job done
Ridin' a bull for your paychecks worth it
When the day is done and the buckle is won. (chorus)
Lots of pretty girls up inthe stands
More than ready to give you a hand.
When your thrown on your back, laid out straight,
Their still willing to give you a date.
(never figured that one) (chorus)
It's a young man's game riding a bull
Most folks say he's a gosh darn fool.
If he had 1/2 a brain, he'd drive a truck.
But you know he's gonna choose that bronkin' buck (chorus)
He lives for the ride, The ride is his life.
Ain't no time for a family or wife.
The day's gonna come when he's tired and beat.
And the only thing he's riding is the lawn mower seat! ( oh no, that's how it goes) (chorus)
