Yeehaw
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, ah-la-la-la)

Yeah, I'm gon' take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gon' take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more (Kio, Kio) (woo!)

I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match (woo)
Ridin' on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off that porch, now

Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

Maserati rowdy, got a V12 for my bride (skrrt)
Foggy rocky road, got a three-wheeler inside (ayy)
All I wanna do is take a pill, catch a chill vibe
Real prince, uh, I'm really doin' real dumb
I'ma take a horse to Southberry Road, ayy
I don't remember her name, but I painted on her nose, ayy (yee, nose)
Country money, I don't gotta do no chores
I'm a menace, I got women tryna sneak me through they doors (doors)

Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me, you can't tell me

Hat down, cross town, livin' like a rockstar
Spent a lot of money on my brand new guitar
Baby's got a habit, diamond rings and Fendi sports bras
Ridin' down Rodeo in my Maserati sports car

Hold up, let me tell y'all somethin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

Hop up in my Razor, got a thousand acres
Ride up on the cows with it, pray that it don't phase her
Ay-yo, ay-yo, yippee-o-ki-ay
If you ain't got no giddy-up, then giddy out my way

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

Overall Meaning

"Old Town Road" is a song by American rapper Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, as well as Young Thug and Mason Ramsey in the remix version. The song mixes country and hip-hop music, addressing themes of perseverance, poverty, and loneliness. The chorus "I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road, I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more" is an expression of the singer's determination to keep going despite obstacles in his path.


In the first verse, Lil Nas X describes his attire, which includes a matte black hat and black boots that match. He then speaks of riding on a horse, flaunting its excellence over a Porsche, while making a reference to a valley experience. The second verse sees Lil Nas X referencing prominent fashion brands, diamond rings, and riding in a Maserati sports car. He also makes a reference to a pill, possibly a drug that he takes to escape from his troublesome reality.


In the chorus, which is repeated multiple times throughout the song, Lil Nas X insists that no one can tell him anything or bring him down. The song ends with the rapper riding through town on his horse while shouting 'Yeehaw.'
