Lyrics
The last time that I kissed you
You were on a bus for home.
My windshield wipers waved goodbye
As I drove off, alone
To ride the beasts of California
Dust and raw hide.
Cause there’s always
One more bull to ride.
With a tarnished silver buckle
And a folded envelope
Give me 8 more seconds
And I’ll hold onto that rope
With my tattered gloves
And leather chaps
Your picture tucked inside
‘Cuz there’s always
One more bull to ride.
After 10 years on the circuit
I’m a man without a care
And just one more carnival lady
With cotton candy hair
A single cowboy and his truck
In need of great repair
But there’s always, one more road To somewhere
So I’ll be in town next Sunday
I hope that you can find
The lonely man with broken bones
And lovin’ on his mind
I’ll find you in the cheering crowd
As I shade my eyes
This thought of losing you again
Hurts worse than a no-score ride
If you give me 8 more seconds
I’ll set my spurs aside
‘Cuz there will always be
One more bull to ride
If you’ll give me 8 more seconds
I’ll kiss my spurs goodbye (Ph Yeah)
‘Cuz there’ll always be
One more bull to ride
There will always be
One more bull to ride
Hoo, Hoo, Hoo-Hoo
