The Longest Eight Seconds
1600 pounds of fury
It's a bull named Lucifer's Pride
It's the longest eight seconds of my life
I'm hoping for a qualifying ride.
From Biloxi, to Reno
From Tulsa to Cheyenne.
I cowboy up through the pain
To give it all I can.
I'm looking for a ninety
Before I taste the dirt.
Some may think I'm crazy
To me, this is just work.
It's only eight seconds
But it can change my life.
I can take home a paycheck
Or be in the hospital tonight.
To throw me from it's back
The bull will buck and twist.
I say a prayer when they pull that gate
I know my life, I risk.
It's a bull named Lucifer's Pride
It's the longest eight seconds of my life
I'm hoping for a qualifying ride.
From Biloxi, to Reno
From Tulsa to Cheyenne.
I cowboy up through the pain
To give it all I can.
I'm looking for a ninety
Before I taste the dirt.
Some may think I'm crazy
To me, this is just work.
It's only eight seconds
But it can change my life.
I can take home a paycheck
Or be in the hospital tonight.
To throw me from it's back
The bull will buck and twist.
I say a prayer when they pull that gate
I know my life, I risk.
