8 Seconds

He swaps his cap for a cowboy hat
And he winks at me as he catches my eye
I know he's done this a million times
But that's a million heart attacks of mine

Luck of the draw wasn't on his side tonight
It's gonna be one hell of a fight alright
Steady in the chute, holding my breath
How many times can I say this prayer?

In 8 Seconds our life flashes before my eyes
You keep telling me, Baby, it's our last ride
You're not the only one out there holding on tight
Heart's beating out my chest we've got four seconds left
So, Baby, ride like you're riding on home to me now
Pray to God you fall on softer ground
Promise me that's the last rodeo clown
Saving your ass for what is hopefully the very last time

I know you're making your daddy proud
That's why you haven't hung your buckle up yet
I hear my heart beat over the crowd
And it reminds me of the night we met
Oh, you've got that country grin that I love
Wicked and wild and sent from above
Hate watching you ride, can't look away
All I can do is sit here and pray

In 8 Seconds our life flashes before my eyes
You keep telling me, Baby, it's our last ride
You're not the only one out there holding on tight
Heart's beating out my chest we've got four seconds left
So, Baby, ride like you're riding on home to me now
Pray to God you fall on softer ground
Promise me that's the last rodeo clown
Saving your ass for what is hopefully the very last time

Ride tonight like you're a superhero
Save my life and keep your promise that you'll let this go
So, Baby, we can both grow old

Luck of the draw wasn't on his side tonight
It's gonna be one hell of a fight alright
Steady in the chute, holding my breath
How many times? How many times? How many times can I say this prayer?

In 8 Seconds our life flashes before my eyes
You keep telling me, Baby, it's our last ride
You're not the only one out there holding on tight
Heart's beating out my chest we've got four seconds left
So, Baby, ride tonight like you're a superhero
Save my life and keep your promise that you'll let this go
So, Baby, we can both grow, both grow, both grow old
