Eight Second Ride (Single Song)

Written By: Mark DeHartigh & Kim Cross

Eight seconds doesn’t sound like much… until you’re sitting on eighteen hundred pounds of bad attitude.

“Eight Second Ride” by DenHartigh & Kim Cross is a hard-driving modern country rodeo anthem built around the adrenaline, danger and downright insanity of bull riding.

The rope gets pulled tight. One hand goes high. The gate swings open—and for the next eight seconds, nothing else in the world matters.

Under the stadium lights, with the crowd holding its breath, it’s cowboy against bull in a battle of strength, instinct and pure determination.

Then the buzzer sounds. Boots hit dirt. The crowd erupts. Another buckle, another scar, another story.

And when somebody asks:

“You riding again?”

There’s really only one answer.

OH HELL YEAH.

“Eight Second Ride” is for the bull riders, rodeo families and country fans who know eight seconds can feel like a lifetime—and somehow still leave you wanting another ride.
