Eight Second Lady Lyrics

Couldn't quite leave you

Guess my heart was in the way

You rode the bronx

I sang for the stage

They'd buck you high and low

Tunin' you up to bend

Your strings would split n' saddle

To Amarillo's end

Couldn't quite believe me

That my heart was yours to lose

You always made the gate

I always sang the blues

They'd beat you swell and dark

Throwing you click by click

But you'd always ride

With the moon behind

Like a rhinestone myth

But it's to late now my darlin'

To do this anymore

Remember the night that you told me

Love can't be timed or forged

It just aches for the cover

A rodeo tune with curves

I was your eight second lady

Always prepared for the worst

You always caught my last one

I always left before

They slapped you sideways

For the encore

I'll never know you now

But I sure did love you when

Eight seconds later

You'd limp up to hear me sing

Shouldn't have misread you

Guess my heart was on the page

You still go the rounds

I quit the stage

They'd measure you live or low

Playin' your every hit

We used to ride

Till the moon would hide

In Amarillo's bliss

But it's to late now my darlin'

To do this anymore

Remember the night that you told me

Love can't be timed or forged

It just aches for the cover

A rodeo tune with curves

I was your eight second lady

Always prepared for the worst

Man, I was your eight second lady

Always prepared for the worst
