Rollin' down a long highway 
Out to 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
