Eight Seconds in the Ring

[Verse] Dust and leather in the dawn's early light, Boots and spurs ready, heart full of fight, The crowd's gettin' rowdy under the big top tonight, Just eight seconds to ride, and it all feels right. [Verse 2] He tips his hat to the wind, takes a deep breath, Mind focused sharp, eyes staring down death, A nod to the gate man, let the wild beast free, A dance with the devil, just him and that beast. [Chorus] Eight seconds in the ring, hold on tight, Ride like there's no tomorrow, conquer the night, Heart poundin', body's shakin', don't let go, Eight seconds of glory, that's all you need to show. [Verse 3] He grips with his thighs as the bull bucks and turns, A life on the line, for fame that he yearns, The roar of the crowd, the dust in the air, For those eight golden seconds, he has not a care. [Verse 4] His mama’s in the stands, prayers on her lips, Daddy's old boots are spurs on his hips, They watch as he rides, their hearts skip a beat, For they know this wild ride can't be beat. [Chorus] Eight seconds in the ring, hold on tight, Ride like there's no tomorrow, conquer the night, Heart poundin', body's shakin', don't let go, Eight seconds of glory, that's all you need to show.
