Rollin' down a long highway

Out through New Mexico

Driftin' down to Santa Fe

To ride a bull in a rodeo

He's hooked on a feelin'

Addicted to a natural high

Don't know why it's appealin'

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 satisfied

Hooked on an 8 second ride



Gettin' up down in back of the chutes

Makes that rosin 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 risin' but he can't wait

Until 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 satisfied

Hooked on an 8 second ride

Hooked on an 8 second ride

Hooked on an 8 second ride
