Chris LeDoux - Hooked On An 8 Second Ride Lyrics






Rollin' down a long highway
Out through New Mexico
Driftin' down to Santa Fe
To ride a bull in a rodeo
He's hooked on a feelin'
Addicted to a natural high
Don't know why it's appealin'
All he knows is he's got to ride

He's addicted to danger
Ruled by passion and pride
To pain and fear he's no stranger
But his lust needs to satisfied
Hooked on an 8 second ride

Gettin' up down in back of the chutes
Makes that rosin burn
He's got his spurs on the heels of his boots
He's at the point of no return
Climbing over that chute gate he settles down inside
The tension's risin' but he can't wait
Until they turn that bull outside

He's addicted to danger
Ruled by passion and pride
To pain and fear he's no stranger
But his lust needs to satisfied
Hooked on an 8 second ride
Hooked on an 8 second ride
Hooked on an 8 second ride

  3. r.... h....

  4. D.... W....

    What some bulls!

  5. C.... E....

    Que cancion tan buena suena al fondo como se llama

  6. P.... W....

    One of my favorite bulls was Bodacious. He hurt a few riders unfortunately but put on a heck of a show. Sadly he is gone but not forgotten

  7. l.... ....

    This man died far too young. Such great music lost!

  8. W.... K....

    1 Heck of a song 👍👍

  9. P.... K....

  10. M.... A....

    Hell yes ! I've literally jumped put of an airplane listening to this song ! SEMPER FI ! OOOOHHHH RAHHHH ! I AINT A BULL RIDER BUT I LIKE TO LET THEM BASTARDS CHASE ME DOWN HAHA

  11. J.... R....

    Bulls: Oooo, he wants to dance XD

  12. J.... R....

    One hell of a good man to see in concert

  13. C.... B....

    Grandpa was a ranch hand and he woulda killed any one of us if we'd done something this stupid. Lol Fun to watch, tho. Good song. 👍

  14. B.... A....

    My favorites song ever

  15. K.... H....

    Pretty sure bull riding started with "hold my beer" 🤣

    K.... H....

    Pretty sure it started with "my balls are bigger than yours" followed immediately by "hold my beer" 😄

  16. K.... L....

    Eight seconds ride is my favorite Chris LeDoux song. A friend of mine used to ride bulls until his career ending injuries. He says this song tells it like it is. RIP Chris LeDoux

  17. G.... 0....

    Back before they wore helmets and face mask.

  18. S.... S....

    @dale brisby your welcome

  19. D.... W....

    Always liked Chris good bulls

  20. K.... W....

    A big favorite back in the early 90's last time I was a college radio DJ on KTEC Klamaths Falls, OR. Not kidding - EVERYBODY was playing it. Even the metal DJs <3

  21. W.... Y....

    We all pass bareback ,saddle, n bull riders all miss him ,dam. Love his song ,keep us high n burn them sosins!!miss him!

  22. J.... B....

    You don't have to be a bull rider to like this song. It's also a good racing, and driving song. Am I right, folks?

  23. H.... H....

    My Boy Friend is a Bull Rider and loves this song

  24. S.... O....

    8 second ride ! Now you know why i,m single !

  25. T.... M....

    The hockey players with hats look odd 😂

    T.... M....

    They're the bullfighters who keep the bulls away from the riders when they get bucked off. The toughest men on the planet, in my book.

    T.... M....

    Brent Henshaw I see...thank u! 🤘

  26. R.... N....

    I Ride Bulls till they Past Out!!!! I'm the Next CHRIS

  27. R.... N....

    I Ride The Meanest Angriest BULL BRING IT ON

  28. R.... N....

    IM ADDICTED TO DANGER!!!!!! YEEHAW

  29. 5.... S....

    Chris is my great grandfather! And after this video im even more proud of it!

    5.... S....

    Your great grandfather was a good man. I love his music. Too bad he died young.

  30. J.... F....

    So, are the calmer bulls scarier?

    J.... F....

    Nope, a bull that's calm in the chute lets you have a fair chance is all. Young bulls tend to fight anything that moves, older bulls tend not to waste a move, if they move at you, you're probably going to get a hooking. An 800 lb no bucking, practice bull can kill you just as dead as a 2300 lb bull. You get to know them after awhile, some are quiet some ain't. Some are sneaky trying to hurt you in the chute, some blow snot in your face :) After awhile you get a profound respect for them. They have their own personalities.

    J.... F....

    @William Langford that makes sense...thanks for the answer!

  31. L.... W....

    This song reminds of JB mouny

  32. B.... L....

    Knew Lane my hat off to all who choose to find out..

  33. B.... 1....

    Chris laduca always be missed but he will always be smiling down on us

  34. W.... K....

    Great video

  35. W.... K....

    89 thumbs 👎come on Really. Dang Great country music.

    W.... K....

    Haters gonna hate, I guess.

  36. L.... C....

    Holy. Cowbells this guy was AMAZING.

    L.... C....

    Part of the reason his rodeo songs are this great is that he actually came from this sport. Chris Ledoux was the 1976 World Bareback Bronco Riding champion on the rodeo circuit. It's actually where he originally wrote many songs like this.

  37. W.... S....

    Randomly came across this video looking for something else...the rabbit hole that is youtube. I gotta love my bull riders/bull fighters. My "nephew" is a young bull rider and my heart stops everytime I see him. Tip ya'lls hats to these guys. Tougher then nails. I used to do barrels when I was a kid and I loved the feeling of going break neck speeds on my horses. #rodeosforever #cowgirlstuckinthecity #wideopenspaces

  38. C.... S....

    Chris ledoux was a real american

  39. G.... G....

    *LeDouxs still the king* ☆☆☆
    Chris everyone love(D) U

  40. H.... ....

    Chris ledoux is my favorite song writer of all time plus people who are disliking this video are a bunch of yankys

  41. B.... J....

    Chris recorded some great songs. Eight second ride is one of my favorites , then of course this cowboy's hat.

  42. A.... G....

    Un icono de la musica country el mejor diria yo

  43. M.... B....

    now there was a true cowboy

  44. P.... S....

    This song is the best for all cowboys in the world

  45. W.... ....

    😎👍

  46. T.... L....

    Back when Cowboys were real cowboys and didn’t ride with helmets, face masks etc. most didn’t even wear vests either. I remember those days. The Charles Sampson, Jim Sharp, Tuff Hedeman, Cody Lambert, Cody Custer, Ty Murray, Ted Nuce, Jerome Davis, Troy Dunn, Bubba Dunn, J.W. Hart & Don Gay days of Cowboy’n! They are the true Legends of the sport. Of course we can never forget the one and only Lane Frost!

    T.... L....

    Can't forget the guru Gary Leffew....different era yea but still.

    T.... L....

    Lane frost also

    T.... L....

    add Larry Mahan and Freckles Brown

    T.... L....

    Just because you ride with a helmet doesn’t make you not a cowboy, I guess you ain’t seen a bull bucked enough to see the bulls are getting bread to buck better than they did a year ago.

  47. K.... P....

    Im always be a cowboy for the rest of my life and I can't stop it

    K.... P....

    When you're born cowboy, ya hasta be a cowboy.... just the way it is.

  48. j.... b....

    Love the song but I want everyone to take a moment to appreciate the bull at 0:30

    j.... b....

    Bodacious!

  49. T.... A....

    Ain’t saying I know anything about this sport just because my god father was a world champion calf roper

  50. C.... A....

    Chris was awesome

  51. P.... ....

    0:23 this is so satisfying

  52. W.... ....

    Bodacious blowing like an absolute beast at 00:30-00:37

  53. d.... ....

    Bull riding has been described as "Taking your truck out on the interstate at 80 miles an hour and then chunking the steering wheel out the window"

    Apt enough.

  54. N.... O....

    Great song right to the point,first time hearing it great job Chris.

  55. A.... E....

    He was a real cowboy

  56. J.... h....

    Gronk wouldn't last a second

  57. R.... S....

    The world tell you to grow up

  58. R.... S....

    Anyways happy new year

  59. R.... S....

    Bull riding in 1974

  60. R.... S....

    I remember 1974

  61. R.... S....

    Maybe 87

  62. R.... S....

    I was in town in 1986

  63. R.... S....

    In 1986

  64. R.... S....

    I was in town in 2005

  65. R.... S....

  68. R.... S....

    I City person never been around a farm animals

  69. R.... S....

    Well I ain't never seen it bull

  70. R.... S....

    Is that a real bull

  71. J.... P....

    saw him in concert during national ffa week best singer

  72. J.... S....

    Haven't been to rodeo in years. Bull riding was always my favorite event to watch.

    No offense to pro riders, but I've always enjoyed non-pro competitions...little league, Jr high to college football, & local rodeos back when I knew some of the riders.

    Brent, you did GREAT job putting the rides to the song!! Amazing even! Thanks for reminding me of good times!!

  73. 4.... B....

    Those UFC fighters saying a boxer wouldn't last 2 rounds in their world. You would last 8 seconds in mine

    4.... B....

    I'm a rodeo clown so I feel like I have huge balls as well buba ! Haha

    4.... B....

    Right. They'd break your arm and leave you permanently disfigured in half of 1 second though.

  74. J.... M....

    Coolest song ever lol

  75. J.... P....

    right Florida Georgia line sucks and we need more Shania twain and more Chris ledoux in the country music !! singers today sucks ass

  76. R.... J....

    Hats off to the 76 NFR champ

  77. R.... R....

    I Want see some of these left wing haters get on the back of one these bad Boyz!!

  78. g.... ....

    #ImissChrisLeDoux

  79. D.... I....

    This is real country

  80. C.... P....

    Amen Joe

  81. B.... P....

    Tip your hat to a bull rider. Respect those with the courage to keep getting back on those flesh and blood hurricanes with horns. I've been stupid enough to get on a few bulls and there ain't anything else in this world that will jerk your insides around like that or fill you with so much terror that it fools you into thinking it's fun. Takes an idiot to first get on, but a special kind of madness to get on 'em again. I've done it, but I still don't get why. Some mix of pride, stubbornness, and stupidity mixed with crazy, I suppose. I was drunk the first time, ain't got an excuse for the rest.

    B.... P....

    Bran Phillips thank ya for your respect

    B.... P....

    Omg ..that is so crazy,but so exciting..😊

    B.... P....

    Thanks for the respect

    B.... P....

    Thanks. My reason is crazy + hating to fail. In Chris Ledoux's own words...passion and pride...im passionate about being crazy...and prideful about failing ...

  82. Z.... J....

    This is my job this is what I do

  83. C.... R....

    let the toughest football players try this

    C.... R....

    They won't last 2.5 seconds

    C.... R....

    They wouldn’t last a second

    C.... R....

    They can't, their to busy kneeling during the national anthem

    C.... R....

    You mean put on a helmet and pads like those rodeo pussies do today? Let's see those guys today line up in the backfield with no pads against an NFL linebacker.

    C.... R....

    TheJer1963 I believe in the protective vest but helmets no. If they are going to ride wear a hat. Helmets are for football players not cowboys.

  84. E.... H....

    The 41 people who disliked this song ain’t no cowboys and probably wear scarfs and ugg boots

    E.... H....

    And have a man bun and wears skinny jeans

    E.... H....

    Emilee Hignite what ugg boots?😂😂

    E.... H....

    Aaron Stillwell google it

    E.... H....

    They are boots with fur

    E.... H....

    Emilee Hignite probably mamm

  85. t.... ....

    the guy at 2:15 was good, but he had NOTHING on the guy at the :30 second mark!!  that was the best damn bull and ride on this video.

  86. M.... F....

    My husband rode Bareback horses with Chris LeDoux. Great great man.. His music is the best! Forever missed!

    M.... F....

    That’s right! Chris LeDoux also competed and rode bareback. He was more than an entertainer, he was a true Cowboy! R.I.P. Chris LeDoux

  87. A.... B....

    Adriano Moraes from Brazil is a legend.

    A.... B....

    One of the best!

    A.... B....

    Well said.

  88. J.... T....

    At 48 still want to do it again . Bet. I can :)

    J.... T....

    Jeremy Trowbridge You can! My husband whom was 3rd in the world bareback ridin has considered it. Retired, but the thrill never goes away! He's 47 now

    J.... T....

    Believe in you

  89. K.... J....

    long live lane

  90. S.... P....

    When rodeo was real

  91. s.... h....

    Tuff sport but maybe you should ride a few cowboys frist

  92. E.... K....

    This is the best song I’ve ever heard and I am still listening to it today

  93. C.... M....

    your the best bull rider like my dad

  94. B.... T....

    Percy Sledge

  95. T.... C....

    This guy should have made this song with a video of Lane frost as a tribute
