E5               G5 
Rollin' down a long highway 
A5                        G5 
Out through New Mexico 
E5                  G5 
Driftin' down to Santa Fe 
           A5                G5 
To ride a bull in a rodeo 
E5                  G5 
He's hooked on a feelin 
A5                             G5 
Addicted to a natural high 
E5                       G5 
Don't know why its appealin 
         A5 
All he knows is he's got to ride 
 
Chorus: 
C5        D5         E5 
Hes addicted to danger 
C5            D5          E5 
Ruled by passion and pride 
    C5        D5              E5 
To pain and fear hes no stranger 
         C5                  D5

Getting hooked up in back of the chutes 
A5                       G5 
Makes the rosin burn  
E5                          G5 
Hes got his spurs on the heels of his boots 
           A5                  G5 
Hes at the point of no return 
E5                    G5 
Climbin' over that shoot gate 
A5                        G5 
He settles down inside 
E5                 G5 
The tensions risin 
 
But he cant wait 
           A5 
untill they turn that bull outside

Hooked on an 8 second ride

Hooked on an 8 second ride
