"Seven Second Ride" lyrics - RILEY GREEN

You were wilder than a Mustang
Freer than a Tulsa wind
It took a little time, but to my surprise
I somehow roped you in
Fallin' stars over Texas
Two hearts in a tumbleweed town
One second, we were flyin' high
The next we hit the ground

[Chorus:]
We had a hell of a ride
And for a while, we held on tight
When push came to shovin', life got to buckin'
We came up a little shy
And when it comes to comin' close
Every cowboy knows
That a seven-second ride never won no rodeo

I tried to talk you into leavin'
Tried to sell you on seein' the world
But you were hellbent on bein' more
Than just some cowboy's girl
I had your daddy's blessin'
And a ring in my Wrangler jeans
But now forever's just a good intention
'Cause I never hit that knee

[Chorus:]
We had a hell of a ride
And for a while, we held on tight
When push came to shovin', life got to buckin'
We came up a little shy
And when it comes to comin' close
Every cowboy knows
That a seven-second ride never won no rodeo

[Bridge:]
Yeah, and it's damn tough to get back up from a fall like that
You just wear the scars 'til you find the heart to hang your hat

[Chorus:]
We had a hell of a ride
And for a while, we held on tight
When push came to shovin', life got to buckin'
We came up a little shy
And when it comes to comin' close
Well, every cowboy knows
That a seven-second ride never won no rodeo

[Outro:]
Yeah, a seven-second ride never won no rodeo
