Don’t Ride a Mustang, Ride a Cowboy

[Verse 1]
Boots in the stirrups
Brand-new lashes, same old dust
You climbed on that painted rocket
Swore this time it would be trust
He’s snortin’, spinnin’, sideways
You’re prayin’ you can last eight
But that wild-eyed hay-burn burner
Got you thinkin’ ‘bout a better date
[Chorus]
Don’t ride a mustang, ride a cowboy
He’ll tip his hat and call you “ma’am”
That bronc just wants to break your backbone
My boy just wants to break your spanx (oh damn)
You can chase that horse ‘til Sunday
End up sore and eatin’ dirt
Don’t ride a mustang, ride a cowboy
Let a man do all the work
[Verse 2]
That saddle’s skinnier than your jeans
You’re bouncin’ like a trailer bed
Hat flyin’ past the bleachers
Mascara racin’ down your head
He crow-hops, you see heaven
You hug that horn and scream “oh Lord”
Then you spot that farm-boy leaning
With a grin you can’t afford
[Chorus]
Don’t ride a mustang, ride a cowboy
He’s got thighs like safety rails
Horse power’s over-rated, honey
Try some flannel, boots, and bales (hey!)
Let that stallion kick and tantrum
Let my baby hold your reins
Don’t ride a mustang, ride a cowboy
Trade those bruises in for brains
[Bridge]
Why you fightin’ with a creature
That don’t even know your name?
When there’s one that opens truck doors
And don’t throw you when you’re late
You want leather?
He’s got chaps
You want danger?
He can lasso that
And if you still miss gettin’ bucked
Well girl, he can help with that (yee-haw)
[Chorus]
Don’t ride a mustang, ride a cowboy
He’ll keep you on, not toss you off
You can still wear all that glitter
He just laughs and tips his hat off
Let that rodeo be for trophies
Let that pickup be your throne
Don’t ride a mustang, ride a cowboy
And never ride alone

country, Bright modern country pop with a bouncy train-beat groove, twangy Telecaster licks, and playful female vocals. Verses stay nimble and storytelling over brushed snare and upright bass; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies, stomps, and claps. Fiddle answers the vocal hooks and a cheeky gang vocal tag buttons the track.
