Digging In

going to grasp you tight
hold on for the wild ride
dig my feet in
get ready to begin again
like a bronc from the chute
excitement awaits
clutching the rope
grabbing on to hope
let's take this wild ride

one hand in loop, one free in the air
I may hit, face first, before the horn's blare
eight seconds feels like hours
as I ride and get bucked
but I hold on tight
clutching the rope
grabbing on to hope
let's finish this wild ride
