{c: Listen to the intro - not straightforward}
[C] [C][C][F], [C][C][G7][C], [C][C][C] [C]
On the [C] highway at night, the lights blazing [F] red
and [C] there ain't no sounds except the pounding in my [Am] head
And a [C] couple, cop sirens, blaring for [F] me
They [C] stopped me en route to the refine-[Am] ry
They [C] said, "You look mean", "The kettle is [F] black"
They [C] punched me, for that one, and threw me in the [Am] back
They [C] say, "You've been drinking", I said, "Yes, of [F] course
But [C] it ain't drunk driving if you're [G7] riding a [C] horse" {23 123 123 12}
{c: }
Well there's [C] coked-up truck drivers and T-Birds on [F] meth
And [C] cell phones, and silver folks, scare me to [Am] death
And [C] pills, weed and NyQuil in every third [F] car
And [C] liquored-up grandmas heading down to the [Am] bar
But my [C] horse, he does all the thinking for [F] me
He's [C] sober, as an angel, on a Christmas [Am] tree
Being [C] horny and getting messed up is life's strongest [F] force
But [C] it ain't drunk driving if you're [G7] riding a [C] horse {23 123}
{c: }
[C7][C7]
Now my [G] equine companion is kind and good-hearted
But he [C] will not back [F] down from a [C] fight [C][F][C]
And [Am] down at the [C] stable he'll drink you [F] under the [C] table
But [G] he wasn't drinking to-[G] night {23 123}
{c: }
[C7][C7][F][F][C][C][G7][C]
Well I [C] pleaded and pleaded without any [F] gain, took all the
[C] names in the Bible I could think of in [Am] vain
And the [C] judge, he had the gall, to shrink all my [F] wealth
He said, [C] "What do you have, to say for your-[Am] self
Of your [C] sinning and your drinking do you feel much re-[F] morse?" {2} No, 'cause
[C] it ain't drunk driving if you're [G7] riding a [C] horse
{c: }
[F] It ain't drunk [C] driving if you're [G7] riding a [C] horse [C]
