Lyrics

EIGHT-SECOND MAN


ON THE FIRST JUMP OUT OF THE CHUTE
MARKIN' THE HORSE TOUCHIN' IT'S SHOULDERS
WITH THE SPURS ON MY BOOTS

ALL OR NOTHIN' HOLDIN' ON WITH ONE HAND
GIVIN' ALL I GOT GETTIN' THE JOB DONE
THE OUTCOME AIN'T FORGONE

I'M AN EIGHT-SECOND MAN IT'S WHAT I AM
STAY IN THE SADDLE LONG AS I CAN
EIGHT-SECOND MAN IS WHAT I AM
AN' ALL THE LADIES LOVE A BUCKAROO BRONC-BUSTIN' MAN

CONCENTRATION IS WHAT IT TAKES
TO MAKE FIFTY POINTS AN' THE WILL TO WIN
AGAINST ALL LAW'S ODDS

I'M AN EIGHT-SECOND MAN IT'S WHAT I AM
STAY IN THE SADDLE LONG AS I CAN
EIGHT-SECOND MAN IS WHAT I AM
AN' ALL THE LADIES LOVE A BUCKAROO BRONC-BUSTIN' MAN

CONCENTRATION IS WHAT IT TAKES
TO MAKE FIFTY POINTS AN' THE WILL TO WIN
AGAINST ALL LAW'S ODDS

'CAUSE I'M AN EIGHT-SECOND MAN IT'S WHAT I AM
STAY IN THE SADDLE LONG AS I CAN
EIGHT-SECOND MAN IT'S WHAT I AM
AN' ALL THE LADIES LOVE A BUCKAROO BRONC-BUSTIN' MAN

ON THE ROAD FROM TOWN TO TOWN
BROKEN BONES DON'T SLOW ME DOWN
SACRIFICIN' THEY SAVED MANY A RIDER
YA GOTTA ADMIRE THE RODEO CLOWN

I'M AN EIGHT-SECOND MAN IT'S WHAT I AM
STAY IN THE SADDLE LONG AS I CAN
EIGHT-SECOND MAN IS WHAT I AM

HEY EIGHT-SECOND MAN IT'S WHAT I AM
STAY IN THE SADDLE LONG AS I CAN
EIGHT-SECOND MAN IS WHAT I AM
ALL THE LADIES LOVE A BUCKAROO BRONC-BUSTIN' MAN
YEAH
GOTTA LOVE THOSE RODEO GALS
WHO LOVE AN EIGHT-SECOND MAN
