Letra

    [Part I: 16 CARRIAGES]

    At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
    Had to leave my home at an early age
    I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
    All my tender problems, had to leave behind

    It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed
    On the back of the bus, in a bunk with the band
    Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
    Underpaid and overwhelmed
    I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
    Still workin' all my life, you know
    Only God knows, only God knows
    Only God knows

    Sixteen carriages drivin' away
    While I watched them ride with my fears away
    Till the summer sunset on a holy night
    On a long back road, all these tears I fight
    Sixteen carriages drivin' away
    While I watched them ride with my fears away
    To the summer sunset on a holy night
    On a long back road, all these tears I fight

    [Part II: BLACKBIIRD]

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
    All your life
    You were only waitin' for this moment to be free

    Blackbird fly (fly)
    Blackbird fly (fly)
    Into the light of a dark, black night

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly (learn to fly, learn to fly)
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise

    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    Arise

    [Part III: YA YA (These Boots Are Made For Walkin' and Freedom)]

    Hah
    One, two, tres, four
    She comin'
    We gon make it do what it do, ya-ya
    Hello, girls (hello, Beyoncé)
    Hello, fellas (you're pretty swell)
    Those petty ones can't touch with me (why?)
    'Cause I'm a clever girl
    We clappin', we drummin'

    My family lived and died in America, hm
    Good ol' USA, shit (good ol' USA), huh
    Whole lotta red in that white and blue, ya-ya
    History can't be erased, ooh-ooh
    You lookin' for a new America? (America)
    Aren't you tired, workin' time and a half for half the pay? (Half the pay)
    Ya-ya (woo-hoo)
    I just pray that we don't crash, keep my Bible on the dash
    We gotta keep the faith
    Wildfire burnt his house down
    Insurance ain't gon' pay no Fannie Mae, ya-ya
    So hold this holster, pour mo' liquor, please
    Hard workin' man ain't got no money in the bank
    Huh, ah, ya-ya
    Turn up the vinyl and the radio (radio)
    He can't watch the news nowadays (nowadays), oh
    I just pray that he don't crash, keep this pistol on the dash
    He gotta keep the faith

    I'm pickin' up good vibrations (ooh)
    He's givin' me sweet sensations

    Texas, we gotta keep the faith
    B-E-Y-I-N-C-E, ya!
    Vote!
    Vote!

    [Part IV: MY HOUSE]

    Who they came to see? Me
    Who rep like me? Don't make me get up out my seat
    Uh, oh
    Uh, oh
    Who let my goons out that house? Uh, huh, who?
    Who out there talkin' all that mouth? Uh, uh, who?

    Who they came to see? Me
    Who reppin' like me?
    Don't make me get up out of my seat
    Don't make me come up off of this beat, huh
    Oh
    Uh—

    [Part V: RIIVERDANCE / SPAGHETTII]

    Bounce on the hit, dance (dance)
    Bounce on the hit, dance (dance)
    I ain't in no gang, but I got shooters and I bang-bang

    Staring down the barrel of his gun
    Yes, he shot me down
    I died and someone brought me back to life
    But never to my senses

    Bounce on the hit, dance (dance)
    Bounce on the hit, dance (dance)
    Bounce on the hit, dance (dance)
    Bounce on the hit, no hands

    Staring down the barrel of my gun
    Yes, I shot you down
    He cried the day he realized
    That lies were hidden in my kisses

    [Refrain: Beyoncé]
    Bounce on the hit, dance (Dance)
    Bounce on the hit, dance (Dance)

    [Part VI: SWEET ★ HONEY ★ BUCKIIN']

    I ain't no regular singer
    Now, come get everything you came for

    Lucchese the boots, check
    You can hear when I step (step), step
    Bought a Chevy and painted it red
    Money long, it can't fit in the bed
    It don't matter what nobody says
    Country boy till the day that I'm dead (yee-hoo)
    Who want smoke? I'm the Marlboro man
    Cut it out 'fore it get outta hand, mmm
    This ain't Calabasas, we don't need highways
    We can take backroads (take backroads)
    Never been ridin', baby? Step in that stirrup
    Hop on my saddle (hop on my saddle)
    Snake on my feet, they rattle (ooh)
    And the bag, only thing gettin' lasso'd, yeah (gettin' what?)
    And I'm still goin' up like a ladder (uh)
    And I'm still in the field
    She gon'

    Buckin' (yeah), buckin' (yeah)
    Buckin' (yeah), woah (yeah)
    Buckin' (yeah), buckin' (yeah)
    Buckin' like a mechanical bull
    Buckin' (yeah), buckin' (yeah)
    Buckin' (yeah), woah (yeah)
    Buckin' (yeah), buckin' (yeah)
    A good night, flow money is full, ooh-ooh
    Look at that horse, look at that horse
    Look at that horse (Look at that horse)

    [Part VII: LEVII JEANS (MY HOUSE)]

    Oh
    Uh, uh, huh
    Uh

    They call me: Pretty little thing
    And I love to turn him on
    Boy, I'll let you be my Levi's jeans
    Way it's poppin' out your phone
    Love you down to the bone

    Baby, you know I'm on my bull—, I'll let you ride it (ride it)
    Rodeo in your room, that shoot breaks loose with perfect timin' (perfect timin')
    Love it when you tease me in them jeans, girl, you don't need designer (no)
    And when that thing on hydroplane, baby girl, you the pilot
    Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom
    Denim on denim on denim on denim
    Give you high fashion in a simple white tee
    Give you these blues, it's in my genes
    On my sister, on Celestine
    Got light shinin' through the in-between
    Thigh gap saddle his leather seats

    Come on you pretty little thing
    Oh, I wanna take you home
    Girl, I’d like to be your Levi's jeans
    The way you poppin' out my phone
    I love you down to the bone
    Yes Ma'am

    [Part VIII: JOLENE]

    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    I'm warnin' you, don't come for my man (Jolene)
    Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
    Don't take the chance because you think you can

    You're beauty is beyond compare
    Takes more than beauty and seductive stares
    To come between a family and a happy man
    Jolene, I'm a woman too
    The games you play are nothing new
    Your peace depends on how you moven
    Jolene, I know I'm a queen, Jolene
    I'm still a Creole banjee chick from Louisiane (Don't try me)

    [Part IX: TEXAS HOLD 'EM (Tyrant and PONY UP Remix)]

    Cowboy Carter
    Time to strike a match, and light up this juke joint
    Everybody, put your hands together
    I'm so honered to be in Texas, right now
    Let's take it to the floor now (ooh)
    Dosido
    It's only right that we do TEXAS HOLD 'EM
    For the first time in Houston, Texas, on Christmas
    Y'all help me sing

    This ain't Texas (woo), ain't no Hold 'Em (hey)
    So lay your cards down, down, down, down
    So park your Lexus (woo), and throw your keys up (hey)
    Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)
    And I'll be damned if I can't slow-dance with you
    Come pour some sugar on me, honey too
    It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
    Don't be a— (hey), come take it to the floor now, woo, hah (woo)

    There's a tornado (there's a tornado) in my city (in my city)

    Rugged whiskey (rugged whiskey), 'cause we survivin' ('cause we survivin')
    Off red-cup kisses, sweet redemption, passin' time, yeah

    Ooh, one step to the right
    We headed to the dive bar we always thought was nice
    Ooh, run me to the left
    Then spin me in the middle, Blue, I can't read your mind

    This ain't Texas (woo), ain't no Hold 'Em (hey)
    So lay your cards down, down, down, down
    So park your Lexus (woo), and throw your keys up (hey)
    And stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)
    And I'll be damned if I can not dance with you
    Come pour some sugar on me, honey too
    It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
    Don't be a— (hey), come take it to the floor now, woo

    Woo, woo

    There's a heatwave (there's a heatwave) comin' at us (comin' at us)
    Too hot to think straight (too hot to think straight), too cold to panic (cold to panic)
    All of the problems just feel dramatic (just feel dramatic)
    And now we're runnin' to the first bar that we find, yeah

    Ooh, if you run to the left

    It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
    Don't be a— (hey), come take it to the floor now, ooh

    Now I'ma need all my cowboys to the dance floor (take it to the floor now, ooh)
    You heard me, Texas, get to the dance floor (release your wiggle)

    Pony up
    Pony up
    Chasin' my sins away with brown, brown
    I'ma need another round, round, round, round
    One for me, one for my lover

    This ain't Texas, ain't no Hold 'Em
    So lay your cards down, down, down, down, oh
    Park your Lexus, throw your keys up
    Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round
    'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round
