When the Lil Nas X Billboard hit “Old Town Road” was at its peak, it seemed like we were getting a brand new remix each and every week. Things have died down recently, however, following the track’s historic run atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but now it’s having some new life breathed into it thanks to Anderson .Paak.
Paak stopped by the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge on Monday, September 16 and dropped a cover of the track that packages it in a completely different way.
Paak sits behind the drums while singing the vocals, but is also assisted by some impressive harmonies on the background vocals.
You can check out Anderson .Paak’s cover below.
Anderson .Paak – “Old Town Road” (Cover)
Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
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
Can’t nobody tell me nothin’
You can’t tell me nothin’
Can’t nobody tell me nothin’
You can’t tell me nothin’
Ridin’ on a tractor
Lean all in my bladder
Cheated on my baby
You can go and ask her
My life is a movie
Bull ridin’ and boobies
Cowboy hat from Gucci
Wrangler on my booty
Can’t nobody tell me nothin’
You can’t tell me nothin’
Can’t nobody tell me nothin’
You can’t tell me nothin’
Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road
I’m gonna ride ’til I can’t no more
