[Verse 1]
Young cowboy wearing cowboy boots
He climbs down in the chute
The gates fly open, it's his first ride
He's so nervous he's shaking inside
[Verse 2]
It's his first ride, but he'll do his best
To ride that young horse that'll put him to the test
He's never ridden rodeo before
He's yet to learn what's in store
[Chorus]
He'll do his best to mix it with the rest
In the rodeo arena, they set the test
To ride eight seconds, he's flyin' high
On that big old outlaw that nearly touches the sky
[Verse 3]
Pretty young girl in the stands
She's wishin' she could hold his hand
She prays that he will be alright
On that young horse with fire in his eyes
[Verse 4]
He doesn't know what's going on inside
Her pretty little heart as he rides
She'll go to the ball on Saturday night
Hoping he'll be there and he will dance all night
[Chorus]
He'll do his best to mix it with the rest
In the rodeo arena, they'll set the test
To ride eight seconds, he's flyin' high
On that big old outlaw that nearly touches the sky
[Outro]
That big old outlaw that nearly touches the sky
