BUCK

One
the wind blows from the water
and your mind slips to a daydream

Two,
the sun starts to shrink below
and the arena lights start to gleam.
You could smell the dirt in your fingernails,
See the dust floor rise in this turmoil
Spinnin' around 'round with a twist of luck
up and down with every buck

Three,
you take a deep breath
pull the gloves on tighter if you can

Four,
wrap your legs in leather
grasp the horn inside your left hand
feel your heart start beating faster
hear the whole crowd get quieter
spinnin around with a twist of luck
up and down with every buck

five
beast moves 'neath you impatient

Six,
listening for the sound of the start

Seven
you're open on the arena floor

Eight,
time to see if you've got the heart
spinnin' around with a twist of luck
up and down with every buck
