Margo Price - It Ain't Drunk Driving If You're Riding a Horse lyrics

On the highway at night, the lights blazing red There ain't no sounds except the pounding in my head And a couple cop sirens blaring for me They stopped me en route to the refinery They say, "you look mean" "The kettle is black!" They punched me for that one And threw me in the back They say, "you've been drinking" I said, "yes, of course But it ain't drunk driving If you're riding a horse" Well there's coked-up truck drivers and T-Birds on meth And cell phones and [silver foots?] scare me to d**h And pills, weed, and NyQuil in every third car And liquored-up grandmas going down to the bar But my horse, he does all the thinking for me He's sober as an angel on a Christmas tree Being horny and getting f**ed up Is life's strongest force But it ain't drunk driving If you're riding a horse My equine companion is kind and good-hearted But he will not back down from a fight And down at the stable he'll drink you under the table But he wasn't drinking tonight Well I pleaded and pleaded without any gain Took all the names in the Bible I could think of in vain And the judge, he had the gall to [?] He said, "what do you have to say for yourself Of your sinning and your drinking Do you feel much remorse?" No, cause it ain't drunk driving If you're riding a horse
