The magic of Good Horses

The lyrics say, “I don’t need a map, I don’t need a road, I don’t need a fence, I just need to roam. If you wanna love me, you don’t need a rope. You just need to know, good horses come home,” captures the essence of longing and freedom.
A slow-burn melody
Good Horses has a slow-burn feel, with acoustic guitar harmonies adding depth to the song. Wilson and Lambert even performed a stripped-down version on Instagram. While sharing the video, Wilson captioned it, “Good horses come home🐴.”
Good Horses is the fourth track from Wilson’s upcoming album, Whirlwind. It is also the first collaboration from the album to be shared with fans. Also, Whirlwind is Wilson’s first LP since 2022’s Bell Bottom Country and includes previously released tracks 4x4xU, Hang Tight Honey, and Country’s Cool Again.

The inspiration behind Good Horses came from a writing session at Lambert’s farm. According to PEOPLE, Wilson shared her excitement about the song. She said, “I am so excited for everyone to finally be able to get their hands on this song. Writing with Miranda and Luke feels like home, and I will forever cherish the day we wrote this song.”
