Doin' It One More Time

When I went to bed last night 

I had one thing on my mind

Gettin’ on that bull again 

And doin’ it one more time

Steppin’ on his back 

As he’s locked there in the chute

Slowly slidin’ down his flank

Straddlin’ with my boots

Strappin’ that rosined wrap 

Securely round my hand

Gettin’ ready for a ride 

In a familiar but unknown land

‘Cause every ride is different 

Yet it’s still the same

I guess that’s why I keep playin’ 

This crazy insane game

And I can’t explain to no one 

The feeling that you feel

When the chute opens up 

And you give that bull the heel

They tell you not to ride the bull 

But to ride the buck

But when he kicks and spins 

I just say “good luck”

And that wise old advice - 

“Lose your feet, lose your seat”

Is awful hard to focus on 

When that bull gives a leap

Sometimes I don’t want to make it 

All the way to eight

Bein’ thrown’s part of the thrill 

Man it’s really great

And when the ride is over 

And I’m sitting on the fence

I’m starin’ at the bull and wonderin’ 

When I’ll ride again

And when I’m in my bed at night 

I’ll have one thing on my mind

Gettin’ on that bull again 

And doin’ it one more time
