Rolling down a long highway
Out through New Mexico
Drifting down to Santa Fe
To ride a bull in a rodeo

He's hooked on a feeling
Addicted to a natural high
Don't know why it's appealing
All he knows is he's got to ride

He's addicted to danger
Ruled by passion and pride
To pain and fear, he's no stranger
But his lust needs to be satisfied
Hooked on an 8 second ride

Getting up down in back of the chutes
Makes that rousin burn
He's got his spurs on the heels of his boots
He's at the point of no return

Climbing over that chute gate
He settles down inside
The tension's rising but he can't wait
'Til they turn that bull outside

He's addicted to danger
Ruled by passion and pride
To pain and fear, he's no stranger
But his lust needs to be satisfied
Hooked on an 8 second ride

Hooked on an 8 second ride
Hooked on an 8 second ride
