"Old Town Road"
 

You know what? I'm done, done, done

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more                                      x2

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

This video explains how Lil Nas X wasn't a good student, and dropped out of school without any diploma.

He tried to live of his music but did not win money at the beginning.

He became an outcast, his sister asked him to leave her flat.

He was like Lucky Luke, a poor lonesome (lonely) cowboy!

When he wrote his song, he was a runaway, someone who had nowhere to go ... but it became a success !!
