Interesting facts and trivia about Eight Second Ride. By Songfacts®.

In this song, Owen picks up a stunning babe who is impressed with his huge tires. When they leave together, he warns her that their time together will be wilder than any eight-second ride. This is a bull riding reference - eight seconds refers to how long you have to stay on a bull for your score to count in a rodeo.

This song first appeared on Owen's debut album, Startin' With Me, in 2006. He re-recorded it for his second album, Easy Does It, in 2009, this time releasing it as a single with a video to go with it.

Owen discussed this song with AOL: "I wrote that song when I was in college. I wanted to write a song I could throw in a set list that was rockin' enough to where people wouldn't be mad if I wasn't playing a cover. It always went over so well. One of the main reasons it wasn't released [as a single from the first album], is because it doesn't really define who I am as a person as much is it just allows people to have a really rocking good time. It's the one song on this record that doesn't necessarily fit the mix, but it fills the void of a song where people really want to turn it up loud and sing along. And that's a good feeling to do that for somebody."
