Lyrics

A cowboy's got eight seconds to ride that raging bull
The most dangerous eight seconds in sports
Once that big gate opens you got your rugged hands full
C'mon cowboy hang on to that bull

You can't hear the crowd or see the clowns
While that bull just rocks you up and down
He'll be snortin'and buckin,
To get you off his back
Hang on tight or you'll be eating ground
Chorus
Eight seconds hey that's what you got
Just make it to that buzzer if you can
Eight seconds don't seem like a lot
But it's a lifetime for the bull riding man.

What's on that cowboy's mind when that gate opens
Does his life appear before his eyes
Just like some folks do on their final ride home
Or does he have his eyes on the prize

The smell of the crowd is in his nostrils
The competition's tougher than he reckons
He's riding for the pride he holds deep inside
If he can just hold on for eight more seconds ....Chorus
