About the life of a cowboy going off to rodeos and leaving his wife at home. And the problems that that kind of lifestyle can cause during a marriage.

Lyrics
Verse 1: I packed my saddle bags and my favorite rope, she said please don’t go, the fear in her voice and the tears in her eyes wasn’t as loud as the cheers in my mind
Chorus: 8 seconds of hell and a moment of glory, written in blood and dust my lifetime story, shattered bones and a broken home, a hell of a price we pay for this cowboy way
Verse2: That day in Austin I couldn’t wait to make the call and tell her that I’d won it all, I’m comin home for good this time, but there was only silence on the other end of the line
Chorus: 8 seconds of hell and a moment of glory, written in blood and dust, my lifetime story, shattered bones and a broken home, a hell of a price we pay for this cowboy way
Bridge: I never thought this buckle that I hold in my hand could be outweighed by this little gold band, win lose or draw I’ve lost it all this time, a hell of a price we pay
Chorus: 8 seconds of hell and a moment of glory, written in blood and dust, my lifetime story, shattered bones and a broken home, a hell of a price we pay for this cowboy way.....
