More Than Eight Seconds

Lyrics

MORE THAN EIGHT SECONDS [Verse 1] You walked in wearing that buckle and grin, Dust on your boots, looking born to win. Set your black Stetson down next to mine, Said, “Darlin’, you looking for a real good time?” I picked out a song, took your hand in mine, Said, “Let’s see if your boots keep time.” [Chorus] I wanna ride on you all night long, Chase that moon till the stars are gone. Cowboy, give me more than eight seconds, I’m looking for a love worth betting. Keep me turning on this hardwood floor, When the song runs out, give me one song more. Let that last-call bell keep ringing on— I wanna ride with you all night long. [Verse 2] You said, “I’ve been thrown a time or two, Got a bad left knee and a black-and-blue.” I said, “I’ve got scars that don’t show through, And a whole lot of miles on these dancing shoes.” You laughed when I pulled you close again, Said, “Looks like we both could use a win.” [Chorus] I wanna ride on you all night long, Chase that moon till the stars are gone. Cowboy, give me more than eight seconds, I’m looking for a love worth betting. Keep me turning on this hardwood floor, When the song runs out, give me one song more. Let that last-call bell keep ringing on— I wanna ride with you all night long. [Bridge] They’re stacking up chairs, turning up lights, You’re still holding my hand outside. There’s a diner awake down Highway Ten— Buy me a coffee, let the night keep going. [Final Chorus] I wanna ride on you all night long, Dashboard radio playing our song. Cowboy, give me more than eight seconds, Something sweeter than a first impression. Take that turn, we’ve got time to spare, Sun coming up, wind in my hair. If you’re still here when the thrill is gone, I might ride with you my whole life long. [Outro] Cowboy, give me more than eight seconds… We’ve got a little daylight coming on.
