Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

[Verse 1]
I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match
Ridin' on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche

You ain't been up off that porch, now
[Chorus]

Cowboy hat from Gucci
Wrangler on my booty
[Chorus]
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
