8 Second Ride Lyrics
I said, "hey girl what's your name?
Haven't I seen you before?
I recognized them dark green eyes
When you dosey-doed across the floor
Are you alone or are you with someone?"
She said, "a matter of fact I'm not"
So I took her hand
That's when it all began
And we headed towards the parking lot
She said, "hey boy
Do you mind takin' me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy With tires on his truck this high
I said, "climb on up
But honey watch the cup
That I'm spitting my dip inside
And hold on tight
'Cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any 8 second ride
We went riding around
Rocking to the sound
Of "Country Boy Can Surivive"
And I knew then
That she was my kind of girl
'Cause she was singing every single line
Then she slid on over
Put my hand on her shoulder
And I asked her what she wanted to do
She said, "it really don't matter
Where we go
Just as long as I'm riding with you"
And she said, "hey boy
Do you mind takin' me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy With tires on his truck this high
I said, "climb on up
But honey watch the cup
That I'm spitting my dip inside
And hold on tight
'Cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any 8 second ride
So we headed out to old Tobacco Road
Put the tailgate down and we made love
She said, "true country boys are hard to find
But I found one wilder than any 8 second ride
And she said, "hey boy
Do you mind takin me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy With tires on his truck this high
I said, "climb on up
But honey watch the cup
That I'm spitting my dip inside
And hold on tight
'Cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any 8 second ride
Yeah, hold on tight
'Cause it's gonna be wilder
Than any 8 second ride
Haven't I seen you before?
I recognized them dark green eyes
When you dosey-doed across the floor
Are you alone or are you with someone?"
She said, "a matter of fact I'm not"
So I took her hand
That's when it all began
And we headed towards the parking lot
Do you mind takin' me home tonight?
'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy With tires on his truck this high
I said, "climb on up
But honey watch the cup
That I'm spitting my dip inside
And hold on tight
'Cause it's gonna be wilder

'Cause it's gonna be wilder

This song is pretty much about a real cowboy. Nothing really breaks him down. He's not willing to change who he is for a girl. which is quite convenient because the girl is really liking the kinda man he is. I'm guessing she got the full 8 seconds with him.
haha LOVE this song... its awesome the guy doesnt wanna change because who would want him to?? haha gotta love a spittin cowboy in a big truck =]
"'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy With tires on his truck this high I said, "climb on up But honey watch the cup That I'm spitting my dip inside" LOVE IT
Jake Owen has 2 versions of this song.
This one is from his first CD, "Startin' With Me."
In the version on his second CD, "Easy Does It," some of the lyrics are changed. Instead of "When you dosey-doed across the floor," it's "When you walked through the door."
You gotta love the guitar line in this song. The most hilarious part is that she compliments him on the size of his truck tires.
