It's the most dangerous sport to say the least
It's the ultimate showdown of man versus beast
It's got the crowd in the stands on the edge of their seats
And people lining up out in the streets
Catch it in a big arena or a county fair
There's no thrill that quite compares
When that chute opens better say a prayer
'Cause your competition, it don't fight fair
You've got eight seconds, eight seconds to ride
The longest eight seconds of your whole life
You've gotta have the courage to hold on tight
And put on one hell of a fight
It's eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
That's all it takes and then you're done
You've got eight seconds, you gotta make it eight seconds
And when that buzzer sounds man you're a damn legend
You're sitting on two thousand pounds of rage
Strapping in as the beast rattles the cage
The adrenaline's pumping out of control
You give a nod when you're ready to roll
Your world starts spinning, everything's a blur
Leaving it all out in the dirt
When that chute opens better say a prayer
'Cause your competition, it don't fight fair
You've got eight seconds, eight seconds to ride
The longest eight seconds of your whole life
You've gotta have the courage to hold on tight
And put on one hell of a fight
It's eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
That's all it takes and then you're done
You've got eight seconds, you gotta make it eight seconds
And when that buzzer sounds man you're a damn legend

When that chute opens better say a prayer
