8 Seconds At A Time

Some call him an outlaw
     Cause he always lives his life upon the edge
Driving fast, riding hard
     While some call him a fool he's still the best
Living life as if there's only one day left to go
     Enjoying every moment
He just wants the world to know

(Chorus)
That he lives every day 8 seconds at a time
     Like the day's he rode the rodeo
It's the rush he's trying to find
     Never caring what the next day brings
As he leaves his love behind
     Cause he live's everyday, 8 seconds at a time

(Musical Break)

He holds her as she's crying
     And tries to love away her every fear
But the fast life and the fast love
     Are the things he does that causes all her tears
As he drives away he can't look back
     If he does he'll just give in
It's the hard roads and the heartbreak
     As he leaves his love again

(Chorus)
Yes he lives every day 8 seconds at a time
     Like the day's he rode the rodeo
It's the rush he's trying to find
     Never caring what the next day brings
As he leaves his love behind
     Cause he live's everyday, 8 seconds at a time

He live's every day
8 seconds at a time
