[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”
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


[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


[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?” No, ’cause
[C]it ain’t drunk driving if you’re [G7]riding a [C]horse


[F]It ain’t drunk [C]driving if you’re [G7]riding a [C]horse [C]
