8. BULL RIDING BOY

 

They're just boys pretending to be men
They receive their battle scars that never mend.
I sit home praying that he'll be all right
All he cares is making an 8 ride tonight.

(Chorus)
It's wild and it's rough, and ya' gotta be tough
In the body of a man, bull riding boy.
An 8 second ride is good for his pride
It takes its toll on mother's soul ----- bull-riding boy.

The words in Willie's song are true
Sometimes I wish that he'd thought it through.
Strapping on to 2000 pounds of brawn
Praying that he just keeps hanging on.

This is where I ask God to protect him with his power
An 8 second ride seems like an hour.
