Opening Lyrics:
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road
I’m gonna ride (Kio, Kio) ’til I can’t no more

Got the boots that’s black to match
Riding on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche

You ain’t been up off the porch, now
You can’t tell me nothing
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell me nothing
